Sevier River Flow
As of 2026-08-02, the Sevier River is flowing at a combined 527 cfs across 5 USGS streamgauges — 73% of normal for this time of year, versus a seasonal average of 720 cfs.
Total streamflow across the Sevier River was last observed at 527 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 1,045 acre-ft of water today; about 73% of normal. Average streamflow for this time of year is 720 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2011-06-17 when daily discharge volume was observed at 9,340 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Sevier River Near Juab reporting a streamflow rate of 258 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Sevier River, with a gauge stage of 5.11 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 5 different streamgauging stations along the Sevier River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 6,873 ft, the Sevier River At Hatch.

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.

Sevier River
The Sevier River is located in the western United States, stretching from the western slopes of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah to the Sevier Lake in Millard County, Utah. At 385 miles long, it is one of the longest rivers in Utah, flows through seven counties, and has an average discharge of 285 cubic feet per second. The river has several reservoirs and dams, including Piute Reservoir, Otter Creek Reservoir, and Sevier Bridge Reservoir. These reservoirs provide water for agricultural uses such as irrigation and also serve as popular sites for recreational activities such as fishing and boating. The Sevier River has played an important role in the history of Utah, serving as a vital source of water for early settlers and providing a route for the Mormon Pioneer Trail. Today, the river remains an important resource for the state's agricultural and recreational industries.

About the Sevier River
How is the Sevier River flowing right now?
As of 2026-08-02, the Sevier River is flowing at a combined 527 cfs across its USGS streamgauges, about 73% of normal for this date. The live per-gauge breakdown and 24-hour trend are shown above.
Is the Sevier River running high or low right now?
Check the percent-of-normal figure on this page: above 100% means the river is running higher than its seasonal average for the date, below 100% means lower. The per-gauge table shows which reaches are highest and lowest.
Where does the data for the Sevier 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.
