Kent reservoir
Kent
Kent is an unincorporated community located in Marin County, California. Historically, the area was primarily used for agriculture and ranching. The hydrology of Kent is heavily influenced by the nearby Mount Tamalpais, which provides surface flow to several creeks and streams that run through the area. The snowpack from Mount Tamalpais also contributes to the water supply in the region. The Kent Lake Reservoir is the primary source of drinking water for Marin County. Agriculture is still a significant part of the community, with many farms and ranches producing fruits, vegetables, and livestock. The area is also popular for recreational activities, including hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

About Kent
Where does the data for Kent 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.
