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.

Whiterocks River
The Whiterocks River is a tributary of the Green River in northeastern Utah. It begins in the Uinta Mountains and flows for approximately 30 miles before joining the Green River. The river is known for its scenic beauty, including waterfalls and canyons. Hydrologically, the river is fed by snowmelt and rainfall and is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Whiterocks Dam was built in the 1960s to create the Whiterocks Reservoir, which provides water for irrigation and recreation. The reservoir is a popular spot for fishing and boating. Agriculture is a major industry in the surrounding area, and the river is used for irrigation to support crops like alfalfa and hay. The Whiterocks River has also played a significant role in the history of the Uinta Basin, serving as a vital water source for Native American communities and early settlers.

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