# Duaer River flow

Duaer River flow returns daily discharge of the river nearest to a point from the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS), served by Open-Meteo. Rising values over a few days signal flood risk.

## When to use

- Watch flood or drought risk for a plant, a warehouse, a farm, or a supply route on a river.
- Compare this week with the recent past to see if a river is rising.

## When not to use

- Small streams: the model grid is about 5 km, so it follows large rivers.
- Rain totals. Use https://skills.duaer.com/weather.md or https://skills.duaer.com/weather-history.md.
