Mongaup River river
Total streamflow across the Mongaup River was last observed at 260 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 515 acre-ft of water today; about 81% of normal. Average streamflow for this time of year is 320 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2021-10-28 when daily discharge volume was observed at 4,956 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Mongaup River Near Mongaup Ny reporting a streamflow rate of 203 cfs. However, the streamgauge with the highest stage along the river is the Mongaup River At Mongaup Valley Ny with a gauge stage of 3.11 ft. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Mongaup River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 1,069 ft, the Mongaup River At Mongaup Valley Ny.

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.

Mongaup River
The Mongaup River is a 20-mile-long river located in Sullivan and Orange Counties in New York. The river starts at the Mongaup Pond in the Catskill Mountains and flows into the Delaware River. The Mongaup River has a rich history, having been used for logging and fishing in the past. The river is also an important source of drinking water for several communities. The river has several reservoirs and dams, including the Rio Dam and the Mongaup Falls Reservoir. These reservoirs help regulate the flow of the river and provide hydroelectric power. The Mongaup River is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and camping. The river is also used for agricultural purposes, including irrigation and livestock watering.

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 Mongaup River
Where does the data for the Mongaup 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.
