We have 18 gauges on the Rio Grande. 6 are below normal for the date and 1 above. The balance is tilted firmly towards low water.
The gauges on this page are spread across New Mexico, Texas and Puerto Rico. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Fall is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.
