Waldron Lake Near Cosperville reservoir
Waldron Lake Near Cosperville
Waldron Lake, located near Cosperville, Indiana, was created in 1966 as an impoundment for the Elkhart River. The lake has a surface area of 216 acres and a maximum depth of 30 feet. The hydrology of the lake is primarily fed by the Elkhart River, which provides surface flow to the lake. The lake also receives water from snowpack, which melts in the spring and contributes to the lake's water levels. The lake is used for recreational activities, such as fishing and boating, and is stocked with a variety of fish species, including bluegill and largemouth bass. There are also several agricultural fields surrounding the lake. While the lake provides a valuable source of water for these fields, agricultural runoff can contribute to water quality issues in the lake.

About Waldron Lake Near Cosperville
Where does the data for Waldron Lake Near Cosperville 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.
