Lake Mohave At Davis Dam reservoir
Lake Mohave At Davis Dam
Lake Mohave at Davis Dam is a reservoir located on the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. Davis Dam was built in the 1950s to create hydroelectric power and control flooding, which resulted in the creation of Lake Mohave. The lake has a capacity of 1.8 million acre-feet of water and spans 67 miles. It receives water from the Colorado River, as well as snowpack from the surrounding mountains. The lake provides water for agricultural irrigation and recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming. It also serves as a popular spot for camping and hiking. Water levels in the lake are managed by the Bureau of Reclamation to ensure a stable water supply for downstream users.

About Lake Mohave At Davis Dam
Where does the data for Lake Mohave At Davis Dam 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.
