Navasota River river
Total streamflow across the Navasota River was last observed at 472 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 937 acre-ft of water today; about 159% of normal. River levels are high. Average streamflow for this time of year is 297 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2025-06-14 when daily discharge volume was observed at 63,030 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Navasota Rv At Old Spanish Rd Nr Bryan reporting a streamflow rate of 371 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Navasota River, with a gauge stage of 5.98 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 3 different streamgauging stations along the Navasota River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 391 ft, the Navasota Rv Abv Groesbeck.

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.

Navasota River
The Navasota River is a 125-mile-long river in Central Texas, USA. It originates in eastern Hill County and flows southeast until it meets the Brazos River. The river is known for its scenic beauty and rich history, dating back to the time of Native American tribes. The river is fed by several creeks and tributaries, with the most significant being the Little River. There are two major reservoirs on the Navasota River: Lake Limestone and Lake Mexia. These reservoirs are used for water storage, flood control, and recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and camping. Agriculture is also a significant use of the Navasota River, with many farms and ranches utilizing the river for irrigation purposes. Despite its importance to the local community, the Navasota River faces several environmental challenges, including pollution and habitat degradation.

About the Navasota River
Where does the data for the Navasota 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.
