Reservoir report

Louisiana is home to several major reservoirs, including Toledo Bend Reservoir, Catahoula Lake, and Lake Pontchartrain. Toledo Bend Reservoir is one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the country and is fed by the Sabine River. Catahoula Lake is a natural lake that is fed by several creeks and streams, while Lake Pontchartrain is a brackish estuary that is fed by several rivers, including the Mississippi River.

Due to its low elevation and flat topography, Louisiana does not receive significant snowfall or have any relevant mountains that contribute to its reservoirs. However, the state experiences a humid subtropical climate, with abundant rainfall throughout the year.

In recent years, Louisiana has experienced several record-breaking floods, particularly along the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Drought conditions have also been an issue in certain parts of the state during the summer and fall months. Overall, the hydrology of Louisiana is heavily influenced by its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the various rivers and streams that flow through the state.

Reservoir FAQ

About Louisiana dams & reservoirs

Where does the Louisiana dam data come from?

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Inventory of Dams (NID) plus state water-resource agencies. Snoflo joins these public records with live USGS streamgauge readings downstream where available. The NID is the canonical federal dam registry.

What does Hazard Potential mean?

USACE classifies every dam by what would happen if it failed: Low (no loss of life expected, minimal economic damage), Significant (no loss of life but economic, environmental, or lifeline damage), High (loss of life expected). It's a downstream-consequence rating, not a likelihood of failure.

What is Normal Storage in acre-feet?

The volume of water the reservoir holds at its normal operating level, measured in acre-feet. One acre-foot is about 325,851 gallons or 1,233 cubic meters — the amount needed to cover one acre to a depth of one foot.

Why are some Louisiana dams missing storage or height data?

USACE NID records can have gaps for small or older dams that pre-date federal reporting requirements. Snoflo surfaces whatever the canonical record contains. If a dam you care about has incomplete data, contact the operating agency or USACE for updates.

Can I see live water levels?

Yes — tap any dam name to open its detail page, which pulls live storage data from USGS streamgauges or operating-agency feeds where available. Historical levels and seasonal averages are also shown.

Why does Louisiana have so many dams?

The U.S. has over 90,000 dams — most built between 1930 and 1980 during the federal water-development era. Louisiana's count reflects a combination of agricultural irrigation needs, flood control, hydropower, and recreation. The "Built by decade" chart above shows the timeline.
