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.

Squannacook River
The Squannacook River is a 16-mile-long river in northern Massachusetts. The river has a rich history, with evidence of Native American settlements dating back thousands of years. It was also used for transportation and as a source of power for mills during the Industrial Revolution. The Squannacook River is fed by several small tributaries and has multiple dams and reservoirs, including the Lower Nissitissit Reservoir and the Squannacook River Reservoir. These reservoirs serve as a source of drinking water for nearby towns. The river is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and hiking. Additionally, the Squannacook River is used for agriculture, with farms located along its banks. Despite some pollution concerns, efforts have been made to protect and preserve the Squannacook River for future generations.
Track the Squannacook River in the Snoflo app
Set per-gauge push alerts (e.g. "alert me when flow at the Russian R Nr Healdsburg crosses 5,000 cfs"), and Snoflo's iOS app pushes the moment USGS reports the crossing.
About the Squannacook River
Where does the data for the Squannacook 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.
