Lake Havasu Near Parker Dam reservoir
Lake Havasu Near Parker Dam
Lake Havasu is a reservoir created by Parker Dam on the Colorado River, located between Arizona and California. The lake was formed in 1938, and its hydrology is mainly controlled by water releases from the upstream dams. The lake receives its surface flow from the Colorado River, and its snowpack providers include the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, and the San Gabriel Mountains. The lake plays a vital role in supplying water to agricultural and recreational activities in the surrounding areas. Agricultural applications include irrigation for crops, while recreational uses include fishing, boating, and camping. The lake is also famous for the London Bridge, which was transported from England and reassembled in Lake Havasu City in 1971.

Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Lake Havasu Near Parker Dam
Where does the data for Lake Havasu Near Parker Dam 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.
