Indian Valley reservoir
Indian Valley
Indian Valley is a small valley located in Northern California, near the town of Greenville. The area has a rich history, dating back to the Maidu Native Americans who initially occupied the valley. The Maidu utilized the area for hunting, fishing, and gathering, and their influence can still be seen today in the form of petroglyphs and other artifacts. The hydrology of Indian Valley is primarily provided by the many small streams and creeks that flow through the area, including Indian Creek and Lights Creek. The valley is also home to several snowpack providers, which help to maintain the water supply and provide a source for recreational activities such as skiing and snowboarding. Agriculture is a significant part of the local economy, with crops such as alfalfa, wheat, and potatoes grown in the valley. Additionally, Indian Valley is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for hiking, fishing, and camping.

About Indian Valley
Where does the data for Indian Valley 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.
