Oak Ck Res Nr Blackwell reservoir
Oak Ck Res Nr Blackwell
Oak Creek Reservoir, located in Blackwell, Texas, was constructed in 1958 by the Upper Colorado River Authority for municipal, industrial, and agricultural purposes. The reservoir covers an area of 3,440 acres and has a maximum depth of 80 feet. The hydrology of Oak Creek Reservoir is primarily fed by the Oak Creek and a few small tributaries. The reservoir's surface flow is controlled by the dam and spillway. The snowpack providers for Oak Creek Reservoir are limited, as the region experiences a subtropical humid climate.

Recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping are also popular on the reservoir. Oak Creek Reservoir is an essential water source for the surrounding communities and plays an important role in the region's economy.

About Oak Ck Res Nr Blackwell
Where does the data for Oak Ck Res Nr Blackwell 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.
