RiverTrax: River Levels & Flow

This update is housekeeping. But if you're new here — or haven't opened RiverTrax since early summer — here's what landed recently. RIVER STRETCHES — conditions for the water that has no gauge Only about 12,000 rivers in the U.S. have a sensor in the water. The creek behind your house, the section below the dam, the gorge run — nothing. Now you can tap any river or creek on the map, name it your way, and save it next to your favorite gauges. You get its estimated flow, trend, and 10-day outlook, modeled by NOAA's National Water Model and updated hourly. • Save and name any stretch — "Below the dam," "The gorge section" • Estimated flow, trend direction, and a 10-day outlook on water with no sensor • Honest uncertainty: a number where the model is solid, a range where it isn't, and "estimate unavailable" rather than a confident wrong answer • Pin a reference gauge to translate the estimate into the height that gauge would read — with its real measurement right beside it • Set a good range and see it shaded on the 10-day chart • See every USGS gauge on the same waterway from any stretch • Journal entries on stretches, condition-stamped automatically • Rivers turn blue on the map up close — tap any of them, gauged or not HOW THIS WORKS A plain-language explainer covering where every number comes from, what a gauge actually measures, how a stretch is estimated, and how much to trust each one. In About, and from any gauge or stretch. Notice something off with a gauge reading or a forecast? Let me know at traxlabsllc.com/rivertrax. RiverTrax is built by one person, and every report gets read.
