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.

Yellow Bank River
The Yellow Bank River is a tributary of the Ohio River that runs through Kentucky and Indiana. It is approximately 62 miles long and was once an important transportation route for Native Americans and European settlers. Today, the river is primarily used for recreational purposes, such as fishing and boating.
There are several dams and reservoirs along the Yellow Bank River, including Rough River Lake, Nolin River Lake, and Green River Lake. These reservoirs were created to provide flood control, hydropower, and water supply for agricultural and industrial uses. They also offer opportunities for outdoor recreation, such as camping and swimming.
The hydrology of the Yellow Bank River is influenced by precipitation, water usage, and runoff from surrounding land. Agricultural activity is a major factor in the river's water quality, as runoff from farms and livestock operations can contribute to pollution. Efforts have been made to improve water quality through conservation practices and other measures.

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 Yellow Bank River
Where does the data for the Yellow Bank 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.
