Bartlett Reservoir At Bartlett Dam reservoir
Bartlett Reservoir At Bartlett Dam
Bartlett Reservoir is located on the Verde River, in the Tonto National Forest, Arizona. It was created by the construction of the Bartlett Dam in 1939. Hydrologically, the reservoir is fed by the Verde River, which originates in the Prescott National Forest, and by several tributaries. The surface flow in the area is highly variable and depends on precipitation patterns. The snowpack in winter contributes significantly to the water resources in the area. The reservoir serves as a vital source of water for agricultural purposes and as a recreational spot for water sports, such as boating, fishing, and swimming. The surrounding area is also popular for camping, hiking, and wildlife watching.

About Bartlett Reservoir At Bartlett Dam
Where does the data for Bartlett Reservoir At Bartlett 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 below 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.
