Lk Piru Nr Piru Ca reservoir
Lk Piru Nr Piru Ca
LK Piru NR Piru CA is a reservoir located in California, USA. The reservoir was built in 1955 and has a capacity of 51,000 acre-feet of water. The water source for the reservoir is the Santa Clara River, which flows through the area. The Piru Creek, a tributary of the Santa Clara River, provides a significant portion of the surface flow to the reservoir. The reservoir also receives water from the adjacent Lake Pyramid through a canal system. The primary use of the reservoir is for irrigation purposes, providing water for crops and agricultural activities in the surrounding areas. Additionally, the reservoir is used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The reservoir plays a crucial role in maintaining the water supply in the region, especially during drought conditions. The snowpack providers for the reservoir include the nearby mountains and the surrounding forested areas.

About Lk Piru Nr Piru Ca
Where does the data for Lk Piru Nr Piru Ca 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.
