Gauge Information
Gauge Description:
Min and max flow are just a rough guide. Modern-day flows are limited by maximum output from the river outlet works and power plant which is 48,200 cfs. Historically flows were regularly greater than 100,000 cfs during spring snow melt, but currently that only occurs if the reservoir reaches the spillways.
Gage: Lees Ferry
