Here are flows for 12/4/2025! And the BIG NEWS is the Rio Chama! Flow out of El Vado is 700 cfs, with the gauge above Abiquiu Reservoir reporting 686 cfs…and the flow for the Abiquiu Wave reported at 1,400 cfs! The Rio Grande is still looking good with an estimate flow for the Box of 650 cfs, and TJB reporting a flow for the Orilla Verde and Racecourse of 667 cfs. Up north in Colorado, the Wellsville gauge for the Arkansas and Royal Gorge is reporting 311 cfs (no idea about ice/snow situation), while on the Upper Colorado the gauge for Gore/Pumphouse is reporting 411 cfs; downstream from there the gauge for Barrel Springs/Shoshone is reporting 703 cfs (no idea for ice/snow along the Colorado either). And out west in Utah in the Cataract Canyon of the Colorado, the gauge at Gypsum Canyon (near Hite) is reporting 4,160 cfs.
