Map of USGS gauge 10312000 and the river around it
Where CARSON RV NR FORT CHURCHILL, NV sits, with 4 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 Nevada Department of Wildlife uses are 65°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 32–151 ft³/s (middle half of 115 years of record). Now: 75.8 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 75.8 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 115 years of record (1912–2026): 10th 0.39, 25th 32, median 100, 75th 151, 90th 223 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 583 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 (+0% 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.
This gauge is on our page for Carson River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
