Marlette Lk Nr Carson City reservoir
Marlette Lk Nr Carson City
Marlette Lake is a natural alpine lake located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Carson City, NV. Its history dates back to the late 1800s when it was first used as a water source for the Comstock mines. Today, the lake serves as a primary source of water for the Carson City area. The hydrology of the lake is unique due to its high elevation and the surrounding mountains. Surface flow providers include streams and springs, while snowpack providers are crucial for maintaining water levels in the lake. The area surrounding the lake is used for hiking, camping, and other recreational activities. The lake is also important for agricultural uses, particularly for irrigating crops in the Carson Valley. Overall, Marlette Lake is a significant natural resource for the Carson City area, contributing to both its history and modern-day needs.

About Marlette Lk Nr Carson City
Where does the data for Marlette Lk Nr Carson City 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.
