Pomona Lk Nr Quenemo
Pomona Lake near Quenemo, KS in Kansas is a man-made lake constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1963. The lake is located in Osage County and covers an area of 4,000 acres, with 52 miles of shoreline. The purpose of the lake is to provide flood control, water supply, recreational opportunities, and support wildlife habitat. The Pomona Dam is built on the Marais des Cygnes River and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The hydrology of Pomona Lake is supplied by three main sources: the Marais des Cygnes River, the Dragoon Creek, and the 110-mile levee that surrounds the lake. The lake has a drainage area of 322 square miles, with a maximum depth of 40 feet and an average depth of 16.5 feet. The surface flow of Pomona Lake is regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain safe water levels for recreational activities and flood control.
The snowpack in the area contributes to the hydrology of Pomona Lake, with snowmelt filling the reservoir during the spring months. The lake also supports agricultural activities in the surrounding areas, providing irrigation water to farmers in Osage County. Recreational activities at Pomona Lake include boating, fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing. The lake is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, attracting visitors from across Kansas and the surrounding states.

About Pomona Lk Nr Quenemo
Where does the data for Pomona Lk Nr Quenemo 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.
