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

Sabana River

The Sabana River is a river in the central region of Colombia. It runs for approximately 360 kilometers (224 miles) through the Cundinamarca and Boyacá departments, and flows into the Magdalena River. The Sabana River has a long history of human settlement, with the pre-Columbian Muisca civilization inhabiting the river basin. The river is an important source of water for agriculture, and several reservoirs and dams have been built along its course, including the Tominé Reservoir, which is used for hydroelectric power and recreation. The river also provides water for the Bogotá metropolitan area. The Sabana River is a popular destination for recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and hiking, as well as agricultural activities such as cattle grazing and crop irrigation.

FAQ

About the Sabana River

Where does the data for the Sabana 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.
