Rogue River river
Total streamflow across the Rogue River was last observed at 13,720 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 27,213 acre-ft of water today; about 67% of normal. River levels are low and may signify a drought. Average streamflow for this time of year is 20,525 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2019-04-08 when daily discharge volume was observed at 214,970 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Rogue River At Hwy 101 Bridge reporting a streamflow rate of 3,580 cfs. However, the streamgauge with the highest stage along the river is the Rogue River Near Agness with a gauge stage of 4.88 ft. This river is monitored from 10 different streamgauging stations along the Rogue River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 2,626 ft, the Rogue River Above Prospect.

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.

Rogue River
The Rogue River is a 215-mile river in the state of Oregon, USA. The river has a rich history, having been used by Native American tribes for thousands of years before European settlers arrived. Today, it is a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts, who come to fish, raft, and hike along the river's scenic route. The river is also an important source of water for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. Specific reservoirs and dams along the river's length include the Lost Creek Dam, which forms Lost Creek Lake, and the Applegate Dam, which forms Applegate Lake. These dams have had both positive and negative impacts on the river's ecosystem and water quality. Despite these challenges, the river remains an important resource for the communities and ecosystems that depend on it.

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