Strawberry reservoir
Strawberry
California is the largest producer of strawberries in the United States. The history of strawberry cultivation in California dates back to the early 1900s when Italian immigrants began growing the fruit. Today, California's strawberry industry generates $2.5 billion in annual revenue. The hydrology of California plays a crucial role in strawberry cultivation. The state relies on surface water from rivers and snowpack from the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Strawberry Creek watershed in Southern California provides surface water for strawberry fields. Meanwhile, snowpack from the Sierra Nevada mountains contributes to the state's overall water supply. Agriculture is the primary use of strawberries in California, with the fruit being used for both fresh consumption and processed goods. Additionally, strawberries are a popular recreational crop, with many farms offering "U-pick" opportunities for visitors.

About Strawberry
Where does the data for Strawberry 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.
