Longbranch Reservoir Near Macon reservoir
Longbranch Reservoir Near Macon
Longbranch Reservoir is a man-made lake located near Macon, Missouri, and was first built in 1965. The reservoir has a surface area of 163 acres and is fed by Long Branch Creek, which also provides a source of water for nearby farms. The lake is maintained by the Long Branch Lake Association, which is responsible for monitoring water quality and maintaining the surrounding ecosystem. The reservoir is a popular spot for recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming. Additionally, the lake is used for agricultural purposes, providing water for crops and livestock. The hydrology of the reservoir is partly dependent on surface flow from Long Branch Creek and snowpack from surrounding areas, which can impact water levels during periods of drought or heavy precipitation.

About Longbranch Reservoir Near Macon
Where does the data for Longbranch Reservoir Near Macon 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.
