We built River Flow Co to make river data make sense.
Every day, thousands of USGS streamgages across the country record discharge in cubic feet per second, gauge height in feet, and water temperature. That data is free, public, and remarkably precise, but it lives on hundreds of separate station pages, one river at a time, with no quick way to see how today's flow compares to a normal day or to check conditions on more than one river at once.
River Flow Co pulls that live data and puts it on one page: current discharge (cfs), gauge height, and water temperature for every station we track, alongside a status badge showing whether a river is running high, low, or steady against its typical flow for the day, and whether it's rising or falling. One glance, and you know where things stand.
A few of the ways River Flow Co helps you plan a day on the water.
CFS, gauge height, and water temperature pulled straight from USGS and state telemetry networks, updated throughout the day.
Editorial guides to the rivers that define each state: history, geography, and where to put in.
Every station shows whether it's running high, low, or steady against its typical flow, and whether it's rising or falling right now.
