Miramar reservoir
Miramar
Miramar is a small coastal community located in California's San Mateo County, known for its scenic beauty and historic significance. The area's hydrology is influenced by the San Andreas Fault Zone, which runs through the region and has led to the creation of many natural springs and streams. These water sources provide important surface flow for the area, including the San Vicente Creek and the San Mateo Creek. Additionally, the nearby snowpack providers, such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains, contribute to the area's water supply. Many agricultural and recreational activities take place in the region, including farming, fishing, and outdoor sports like hiking and camping. The area's rich history and natural beauty continue to attract visitors from all over the world.

About Miramar
Where does the data for Miramar 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.
