Map of USGS gauge 07069305 and the river around it
Where Spring River at Spring Street Bridge at Hardy, AR sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Arkansas Game and Fish uses are 65°F and 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 391–772 ft³/s (middle half of 25 years of record). Now: 322 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 322 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 25 years of record (2002–2026): 10th 316, 25th 391, median 463, 75th 772, 90th 1,520 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 276 ft³/s, highest 22,700 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (−4.5% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
