Weber Reservoir Near Schurz reservoir
Weber Reservoir Near Schurz
Weber Reservoir, located near Schurz, NV in Nevada, is a man-made reservoir. It was constructed in 1896 to hold water for irrigation purposes. The reservoir has a capacity of 18,000 acre-feet and is used to store water from the Walker River for irrigation and domestic purposes. The reservoir is fed by snowpack from the Sierra Nevada Mountains and surface water flows from the Walker River. The water is primarily used for agricultural purposes, including the irrigation of alfalfa, corn, and pasture lands. The reservoir also provides recreational activities such as fishing and boating. The hydrology of the reservoir is managed by Walker River Irrigation District, which monitors water levels and releases.

About Weber Reservoir Near Schurz
Where does the data for Weber Reservoir Near Schurz 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.
