Lake Pillsbury Nr Potter Vly 24hr Avg reservoir
Lake Pillsbury Nr Potter Vly 24hr Avg
Lake Pillsbury is located in northern California near Potter Valley. It was formed in 1921 by the construction of Scott Dam on the Eel River. The lake is primarily fed by the Eel River and its tributaries, and it serves as a vital source of water for agricultural and recreational uses downstream. The hydrology of the lake is heavily influenced by the surrounding snowpack and surface flow from nearby streams. The lake's 24-hour average water level is measured daily to monitor changes in water levels and track precipitation patterns. The lake is used for recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and camping, and it also provides water for agriculture in the nearby Potter Valley. However, in recent years, concerns have been raised about the lake's water levels due to drought conditions and increased demand for water resources in the region.

About Lake Pillsbury Nr Potter Vly 24hr Avg
Where does the data for Lake Pillsbury Nr Potter Vly 24hr Avg 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.
