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.

Narraguagus River
The Narraguagus River is a 50-mile-long river in eastern Maine, flowing from its source in the town of Deblois, to its mouth at Milbridge, on the coast. The river has a rich history, with evidence of fishing and trading by Native Americans dating back over 4,000 years. The river is a popular destination for fishing and hunting, with several dams and reservoirs supporting the thriving sport fishing industry. The dams on the river are primarily used for hydroelectric power, with the West Branch Dam generating power for the local community. However, there are concerns about the impact of the dams on the river's ecology and fish populations. Additionally, the river is used for agricultural purposes, with farmers using its water for irrigation and livestock. Overall, the Narraguagus River is a vital resource for the communities along its banks, serving as a source of power, recreation, and livelihood.

Track the Narraguagus River in the Snoflo app
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 Narraguagus River
Where does the data for the Narraguagus 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.
