Donnell Lk Nr Dardanelle Ca reservoir
Donnell Lk Nr Dardanelle Ca
Donnell Lake, located near Dardanelle, California, was formed by the construction of a dam on the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River. The lake, surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, has a maximum depth of 328 feet and provides habitat for a variety of fish species. The hydrology of the area is influenced by snowmelt from the surrounding mountains, which provides surface flow to the lake and other waterways in the region. The snowpack also serves as a vital water source for agricultural and recreational activities in the area. The lake and surrounding areas are popular for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, camping, and hiking. Agriculture in the area includes ranching and timber production.

About Donnell Lk Nr Dardanelle Ca
Where does the data for Donnell Lk Nr Dardanelle Ca 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.
