Courtright (Pg&E)
Courtright Reservoir is located in Fresno County, California, and is owned and operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). It was built in 1958 on the Middle Fork of the Kings River, a tributary of the San Joaquin River. The reservoir has a capacity of 130,000 acre-feet and serves as a water supply for the surrounding communities and agriculture. The hydrology of the area is influenced by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with snowmelt providing a significant portion of the surface flow. The reservoir also receives water from several smaller creeks and tributaries. The snowpack providers include the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which is a crucial water source for California. The area surrounding the reservoir is primarily used for recreation, including camping, hiking, and fishing, and also supports several agricultural operations.

Where does the data for Courtright (pg&e) 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 below 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.
