Lower Red Lake Nr Red Lake reservoir
Lower Red Lake Nr Red Lake
Lower Red Lake is located in northern Minnesota and is the largest natural freshwater lake in the state. It has a rich history with the Ojibwe tribe, who have fished and hunted in the area for centuries. The lake is fed by the Red Lake River and other smaller streams, and has an extensive wetland complex that helps filter the water. The area also receives significant snowfall in the winter, which contributes to the lake's water levels. Agricultural activities in the area include corn, soybeans, and wheat production. Recreational uses of the lake include fishing, boating, and camping. The lake has been the focus of conservation efforts to improve water quality and protect sensitive habitats, such as the wild rice beds that grow in the shallows.

About Lower Red Lake Nr Red Lake
Where does the data for Lower Red Lake Nr Red Lake 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.
