Pike Lake At Warsaw Ind reservoir
Pike Lake At Warsaw Ind
Pike Lake is a 327-acre man-made lake located in Warsaw, Indiana. It was originally constructed in the 1830s to provide water for a nearby sawmill. The lake is fed by Pike Creek and several smaller streams, and its hydrology is managed by the Pike Lake Dam. The lake is a popular destination for fishing, boating, and swimming, with several public access points and a beach area. The lake also serves as a drinking water source for Warsaw and surrounding communities. In terms of agricultural use, the lake's watershed is primarily composed of agricultural land, which can contribute to nutrient pollution and algal blooms. Additionally, snowmelt can contribute to increased water levels and flooding in the spring.

About Pike Lake At Warsaw Ind
Where does the data for Pike Lake At Warsaw Ind 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.
