Alabama River At Millers Ferry Dam reservoir
Alabama River At Millers Ferry Dam
The Alabama River at Millers Ferry Dam, near Camden, Alabama, has a rich history dating back to the Native American tribes who relied on the river for food and transportation. Today, the river plays a crucial role in hydrology, providing water for irrigation and municipal use. The Millers Ferry Dam is also used for hydroelectric power generation. Specific surface flow providers include the Black Warrior and Tombigbee River Basins, which feed into the Alabama River. Snowpack providers, on the other hand, are limited as Alabama is a predominantly warm and humid state. Agricultural uses include crop irrigation, while recreational activities such as fishing and boating are popular among locals and tourists alike. The Alabama River at Millers Ferry Dam serves as a vital resource for the surrounding community and state.

About Alabama River At Millers Ferry Dam
Where does the data for Alabama River At Millers Ferry Dam come from?
Daily storage, pool elevation, and release rates are sourced from USGS, USBR, and USACE monitoring stations. Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
Storage observations are updated daily by the operating agency. The 15-day weather forecast refreshes throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- check the "as of" timestamp on the storage card.
What does the Hazard hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this reservoir, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
