Perris reservoir
Perris
Perris is a city located in Riverside County, California. It was established in the 1880s as a railway town and later became known for its agriculture industry. The city is situated within the San Jacinto Watershed and is home to Lake Perris, a reservoir created by the construction of the Perris Dam in 1973. The lake serves as a popular recreational destination for swimming, boating, and fishing. The hydrology of the area is also heavily influenced by the snowpack from nearby mountains, which provides significant surface flow to rivers and streams in the region. Agriculture remains an important industry in Perris, with crops including citrus, avocados, and grapes. The city also boasts a variety of recreational activities, including skydiving and hot air balloon rides.

About Perris
Where does the data for Perris 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.
