Streamflow, conditions and background by watershed segment. Data through November 1, 2026.
Data gaps and disparities
Found automatically in the gauge records behind this river, and notes from a reviewer who checked them against other sources. Gauges need at least 26 weeks of daily data to appear on the Flow tab.

Show 5 notes
- ended Discontinued gauges: 3 gauges have stopped reporting: Mora R Nr Watrous, NM (last 1963); Mora River Near Holman, NM (last 1974); Mora River Nr Shoemaker, NM (last 1996). Their segments rest on fewer gauges after those years.
- flatline Mora River At La Cueva, NM: 1 run of 30+ days at exactly the same flow: 8.0 cfs for 32 days from Dec 15, 1943. Usually an estimated period (ice, a broken gauge) rather than measured daily flow.
- flatline Mora River Near Golondrinas, NM: 8 runs of 30+ days at exactly the same flow: 11.0 cfs for 88 days from Dec 11, 1927; 12.0 cfs for 59 days from Jan 1, 1929; 8.0 cfs for 38 days from Dec 9, 1932. Usually an estimated period (ice, a broken gauge) rather than measured daily flow.
- flatline Mora River Near Holman, NM: 1 run of 30+ days at exactly the same flow: 1.2 cfs for 31 days from Jan 1, 1955. Usually an estimated period (ice, a broken gauge) rather than measured daily flow.
- flatline Mora River Nr Shoemaker, NM: 2 runs of 30+ days at exactly the same flow: 25.0 cfs for 37 days from Dec 10, 1943; 20.0 cfs for 31 days from Aug 1, 1924. Usually an estimated period (ice, a broken gauge) rather than measured daily flow.
Values removed (0)
A reading is removed automatically only when it is impossible (for example, a daily mean above the highest flow USGS recorded that water year). Low and zero flows are never removed: rivers here really do dry up.
None.
