Cross Lake At Shreveport reservoir
Cross Lake At Shreveport
Cross Lake is a 8,575-acre reservoir located in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was created in 1926 by the construction of a dam on the Red River. The lake is primarily fed by the Red River and several smaller tributaries. It also receives water from snowpack and surface flow from surrounding areas. The lake provides water for agricultural uses and recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The hydrology of the lake is managed by the Red River Waterway Commission. The lake has been the subject of conservation efforts due to issues such as water quality and invasive species. Overall, Cross Lake serves as an important resource for the surrounding community and plays a significant role in the region's water supply and recreational activities.

About Cross Lake At Shreveport
Where does the data for Cross Lake At Shreveport 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.
