Tuttle C Lk Nr Manhattan reservoir
Tuttle C Lk Nr Manhattan
Tuttle Creek Lake is a reservoir located in Manhattan, Kansas. It was created in 1962 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of a flood control project. The lake has a capacity of over 19 billion gallons and covers an area of 12,500 acres. The lake is fed by several small streams and the Blue River. It also receives water from snowmelt during the winter months. The lake is used for recreational purposes, including boating, fishing, and camping. It is also utilized for agricultural purposes, such as irrigation. The lake has had issues with algae blooms in recent years due to high levels of nutrients in the water. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has implemented measures to combat this issue.

About Tuttle C Lk Nr Manhattan
Where does the data for Tuttle C Lk Nr Manhattan 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.
