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.

Wakulla River
The Wakulla River is a 15-mile-long river located in Wakulla County, Florida. The river was named after the Wakulla Springs, which is the largest and deepest freshwater spring in the world. The Wakulla River is fed by multiple smaller springs and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The river has a unique hydrology, with clear water and a consistent flow throughout the year. There are no major reservoirs or dams on the river. The Wakulla River is primarily used for recreational activities, such as kayaking, fishing, and swimming. The river is also important for agricultural purposes, as it provides irrigation water for nearby farms. The Wakulla River has a rich history, with evidence of indigenous settlements dating back thousands of years. In the middle of the 19th century, the river was used to transport timber and other goods. Today, the river is protected and preserved as a natural resource.

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 Wakulla River
Where does the data for the Wakulla 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.
