Harry S. Truman Dam And Res. At Warsaw
Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir is located in Warsaw, Missouri, and was completed in 1979. The dam was built primarily for flood control and hydroelectric power generation. The reservoir has a capacity of 4.4 trillion gallons and covers 55,600 acres. The hydrology of the reservoir is affected by the Missouri River and its tributaries. The Truman Reservoir is a major source of surface water for the region, providing water for agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply, and recreation.

About Harry S. Truman Dam And Res. At Warsaw
Where does the data for Harry S. Truman Dam And Res. At Warsaw 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.
