Hyco Lake At Dam Nr Roxboro
Hyco Lake is a man-made reservoir located at the dam near Roxboro, NC in North Carolina. The lake was created in 1963 by the Carolina Power and Light Company to provide hydroelectric power and a source of drinking water. Hyco Lake covers 3,750 acres with a maximum depth of around 120 feet. The lake's primary inflow is from the Hyco River, and it is also fed by several smaller creeks. The lake provides recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The surrounding area is mostly agricultural, with tobacco being the primary crop. The lake's water level is controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers, and the lake's hydrology is influenced by surface flows and snowpack from the surrounding area.

About Hyco Lake At Dam Nr Roxboro
Where does the data for Hyco Lake At Dam Nr Roxboro 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.
