Middle Tyger River river
Total streamflow across the Middle Tyger River was last observed at 14 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 28 acre-ft of water today; about 16% of normal. River levels are low and may signify a drought. Average streamflow for this time of year is 87 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2024-01-10 when daily discharge volume was observed at 4,084 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Middle Tyger River Near Gramling reporting a streamflow rate of 13.9 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Middle Tyger River, with a gauge stage of 6.56 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Middle Tyger River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 866 ft, the Middle Tyger River Near Gramling.

Maximum streamflow discharge by year
The single highest aggregate discharge recorded each year. Spotting the multi-year trend reveals droughts vs. wet cycles long before the headline daily flow does.

Streamflow elevation profile
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by current streamflow (x-axis) vs elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-to-bottom traces the river from headwaters down to its mouth -- you can see flow accumulate as elevation drops.

Middle Tyger River
The Middle Tyger River is a 58-mile long tributary of the Tyger River in South Carolina. It has played an important role in the region's history, serving as a major transportation route for Native Americans and early settlers. The river is fed by several smaller streams and has two major reservoirs, Lake Bowen and Lake Blalock, which were constructed for flood control and to provide drinking water to nearby communities. The river's hydrology is influenced by seasonal rainfall patterns and the topography of the surrounding landscape. The Middle Tyger River is a popular destination for recreational activities like fishing, boating, and swimming, and is also used for agricultural purposes, including irrigation and livestock watering.

About the Middle Tyger River
Where does the data for the Middle Tyger River come from?
Streamflow and gauge stage data are sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System. The aggregate flow shown at the top of the page is computed by Snoflo as the sum of all monitored gauges along the river.
How is "percent of normal" calculated?
Today's aggregate streamflow is compared to the historical average aggregate streamflow on this calendar day across the river's full record. 100% means right on average; values above 100% indicate above-normal flow (wet year); values below indicate below-normal (dry year or drought).
Why are some gauges showing very different flows?
Gauges along a river measure flow at different points: headwater gauges read what's coming off the snowpack or mountain runoff; downstream gauges integrate everything upstream, including tributary inputs. Wide spreads usually mean a tributary is contributing significantly between gauges.
What's the elevation profile chart showing?
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by streamflow (x-axis) and elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-down traces the river from headwaters to mouth -- you can see flow build as elevation drops.
Can I get alerts when a specific gauge crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app on a per-gauge basis. Open any individual streamgauge from the table above and favorite it to set a discharge threshold.
