Noxubee River river
Total streamflow across the Noxubee River was last observed at 277 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 549 acre-ft of water today; about 15% of normal. River levels are low and may signify a drought. Average streamflow for this time of year is 1,809 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2021-06-12 when daily discharge volume was observed at 54,400 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Noxubee River Nr Geiger reporting a streamflow rate of 148 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Noxubee River, with a gauge stage of 9.05 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Noxubee River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 184 ft, the Noxubee River At Macon.

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.

Noxubee River
The Noxubee River, which runs through Mississippi and Alabama, has a long history dating back to Native American settlements. It is approximately 230 miles long, with its source in the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and its mouth in the Tombigbee River. The river's hydrology is affected by rainfall and the construction of several dams, including the Aberdeen Lock and Dam and the Aliceville Lock and Dam. These dams provide hydroelectric power, flood control, and irrigation to the surrounding agricultural areas. The river is also used for recreational purposes, including fishing, boating, and camping. Several parks and wildlife reserves are located along the Noxubee River, including the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, which provides habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife. The river plays an essential role in the economy and ecology of the region.

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