Payette Lake At Mccall Id reservoir
Payette Lake At Mccall Id
Payette Lake, located in McCall, Idaho, is a natural glacial lake that was first discovered in the early 1800s. The lake has a surface area of 5,330 acres and a maximum depth of 392 feet. The hydrology of the lake is primarily fed by snowmelt and precipitation from surrounding mountain ranges, with the Payette River being the main outlet.
Specific surface flow providers include the North Fork and the South Fork, both of which contribute to the overall water quality of the lake. The snowpack, which is the primary source of water for the lake, is monitored by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The lake is used for a variety of recreational activities, including boating, fishing, and swimming, and is also an important source of water for agriculture in the surrounding area.

About Payette Lake At Mccall Id
Where does the data for Payette Lake At Mccall Id 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.
