Black Lake Bayou Near Clarence reservoir
Black Lake Bayou Near Clarence
Black Lake Bayou is a small stream that flows through Clarence, Louisiana. The stream has a long history, as it was once an important transportation route for Native American tribes and later for European settlers. Today, the bayou is primarily used for agricultural purposes, including irrigation and livestock watering. It also serves as a recreational area for fishing and boating. The hydrology of the bayou is influenced by the surrounding landscape, which includes forests, wetlands, and agricultural fields. Specific surface flow providers include rainfall and runoff from nearby streams, while snowpack is not a significant contributor. Despite its importance to the local community, Black Lake Bayou has experienced issues with water quality and sedimentation, which have had negative impacts on aquatic life and recreational activities.

About Black Lake Bayou Near Clarence
Where does the data for Black Lake Bayou Near Clarence 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.
