Perry Lk Nr Perry reservoir
Perry Lk Nr Perry
Perry Lake is located near Perry, Kansas and was created in the 1960s as part of a flood control project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The lake covers over 11,000 acres and has over 160 miles of shoreline. The hydrology of Perry Lake is mainly fed by the Delaware River and Rock Creek. The lake is used for recreational activities such as camping, fishing, boating, and hiking. The lake also provides water for irrigation to nearby agricultural areas. The snowpack providers in the region include the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. The lake's specific surface flow comes from the inflow of the Delaware River, which is the primary source of water for the lake. Perry Lake is an important resource for the surrounding area, providing many recreational and economic benefits.

About Perry Lk Nr Perry
Where does the data for Perry Lk Nr Perry 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.
