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.

Mimbres River
The Mimbres River is a tributary of the Gila River and flows through southwestern New Mexico. The river has a length of approximately 80 miles and its hydrology is largely influenced by seasonal precipitation. The river is home to several dams and reservoirs, including the Lake Roberts Dam and Reservoir and the Bill Evans Lake Dam and Reservoir. These reservoirs serve as important sources of water for irrigation and domestic use in the region. The Mimbres River has a rich history and was an important source of water for the Mimbres culture, an ancient Native American civilization that thrived in the area from 200-1150 AD. Today, the river is a popular recreational destination for activities such as fishing, camping, and hiking. Additionally, the river supports important agricultural activities in the region, including the production of pecans, alfalfa, and other crops.

Set per-gauge push alerts (e.g. "alert me when flow at the Russian R Nr Healdsburg crosses 5,000 cfs"), and Snoflo's iOS app pushes the moment USGS reports the crossing.
About the Mimbres River
Where does the data for the Mimbres 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.
