Yockanookany River river
Total streamflow across the Yockanookany River was last observed at 456 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 904 acre-ft of water today; about 125% of normal. River levels are high. Average streamflow for this time of year is 365 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2020-02-13 when daily discharge volume was observed at 29,200 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Yockanookany River Nr Kosciusko reporting a streamflow rate of 787 cfs. However, the streamgauge with the highest stage along the river is the Yockanookany River Nr Ofahoma with a gauge stage of 10.2 ft. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Yockanookany River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 385 ft, the Yockanookany River Nr Kosciusko.

Maximum streamflow discharge by year
The single highest aggregate discharge recorded each year. Spotting the multi-year trend reveals droughts vs. wet cycles long before the headline daily flow does.

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.

Yockanookany River
The Yockanookany River, located in central Mississippi, stretches for 63 miles before emptying into the Pearl River. Historically, the river was used for transportation by Native Americans and early European settlers. Today, it is primarily used for recreation and agriculture. The river flows through several reservoirs, including the 9,000-acre Ross R. Barnett Reservoir, which was constructed in the 1960s to provide flood control, water supply, and recreational opportunities. The Mary Ricks Thornton Lake is another smaller reservoir used for recreation, located near the town of Canton. The Yockanookany is also an important water source for agricultural irrigation in the region. The river is popular for fishing, kayaking, and other outdoor activities, with several public access points and campgrounds available for visitors.

About the Yockanookany River
Where does the data for the Yockanookany 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.
