Profile

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.

About this river

Naselle River

The Naselle River is located in the southwestern part of Washington State, and it flows into the Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 21 miles long and has a watershed area of 102 square miles. The Naselle River was once home to the Naselle people, a tribe of Native Americans that lived in the area for thousands of years. The river is also known for its hydrology, as it has been the site of several dams and reservoirs over the years, including the North Fork Naselle Dam and the South Fork Naselle Dam. These dams were built to provide hydroelectric power and to control flooding. Today, the Naselle River is used for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and swimming. The river also supports local agriculture, providing irrigation water for crops such as cranberries and blueberries.

FAQ

About the Naselle River

Where does the data for the Naselle 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.
