Vail Lk Nr Temecula Ca reservoir
Vail Lk Nr Temecula Ca
Vail Lake is a reservoir located near Temecula, California. The lake was created in the 1940s by the Vail family as a water source for their citrus and avocado orchards. Today, the lake serves as a popular recreational destination for fishing, boating, and camping. The hydrology of the lake is primarily fed by the San Jacinto River and local runoff, and the lake is managed by the Rancho California Water District. The lake's surface flow is controlled by a dam, which also regulates the lake's water levels. The surrounding area is known for its vineyards and wine production, and the lake itself is home to a variety of fish species, including bass and catfish. In the winter months, the nearby mountains provide a snowpack that contributes to the lake's water supply.

About Vail Lk Nr Temecula Ca
Where does the data for Vail Lk Nr Temecula Ca 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.
