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.

Waihee River
The Waihee River is located on the island of Maui, Hawaii. It is approximately 10 miles long and has a total drainage area of 16.6 square miles. The river flows through the Waihee Valley and is known for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities such as hiking and fishing. The river is also used for agricultural purposes, particularly for growing taro, a traditional Hawaiian food crop. There are two reservoirs on the river, the Wailoa Reservoir and the Kahakuloa Reservoir, which provide water for irrigation and drinking purposes. The Kahakuloa Dam, which was completed in 1928, is the largest dam on the river and is used to regulate water flow. The Waihee River has played an important role in the history and culture of the Hawaiian people, and continues to be a vital resource for the local community.

Track the Waihee 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 Waihee River
Where does the data for the Waihee 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.
