Deer Creek Reservoir reservoir
Deer Creek Reservoir
Deer Creek Reservoir is located in Utah and was constructed in the 1930s as part of the Provo River Project to provide water to farmers in the area. The reservoir has a capacity of 152,000 acre-feet and is fed by snowpack in the surrounding mountains and by the Provo River. The reservoir is used for irrigation purposes and also provides water for nearby municipalities. Additionally, it serves as a popular recreational spot for fishing, boating, and camping. The reservoir is managed by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District and plays an important role in maintaining water levels for the area’s agricultural and recreational needs.

About Deer Creek Reservoir
Where does the data for Deer Creek Reservoir 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.
