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

Outlet River

The Outlet River is a river located in southern Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 120 km in length and flows from Lake Simcoe to Lake Ontario. The river has a rich history, as it was used by Indigenous peoples for fishing and transportation for thousands of years. Today, the river is used for hydroelectricity generation, with numerous dams and reservoirs along its course. Notable among these are the Trent-Severn Waterway, which includes the Balsam Lake and Talbot dams, and the OPG Upper and Lower Duffins Creek stations. The river also supports recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping, as well as agricultural use for irrigation and livestock watering.

FAQ

About the Outlet River

Where does the data for the Outlet 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.
