Lake Taneycomo At School Of The Ozarks reservoir
Lake Taneycomo At School Of The Ozarks
Lake Taneycomo located at the School of the Ozarks in Missouri has a rich history, initially built as a hydroelectric dam in 1913. It is a man-made lake with a hydrology system that runs from Table Rock Lake. Water provided by the Table Rock Dam is released from the bottom of the lake and creates a cold-water habitat. The lake's surface flow is provided by the cold water released from Table Rock Dam, which makes it an ideal location for trout fishing. The snowpack provides a steady water supply for the lake. The agricultural use is minimal, and the primary use of the lake is for recreational purposes such as boating, camping, and fishing. The lake is surrounded by beautiful scenery and wildlife, making it a popular tourist destination.

About Lake Taneycomo At School Of The Ozarks
Where does the data for Lake Taneycomo At School Of The Ozarks 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 below 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.
