Red Fleet Reservoir reservoir
Red Fleet Reservoir
Red Fleet Reservoir is located in northeast Utah and was constructed in 1973. The reservoir is fed by the Green River and is a primary water source for the Uintah Basin. The hydrology of the reservoir relies heavily on snowpack and surface flow from the surrounding mountains. The snowpack is typically heaviest from January through March, and the surface flow is highest during spring runoff from April through July. The reservoir provides water for agricultural uses and also serves as a popular recreation area for camping, boating, and fishing. The reservoir is stocked with rainbow trout, and other fish species found in the reservoir include yellow perch and smallmouth bass. The area around the reservoir also offers hiking trails and rock climbing opportunities.

About Red Fleet Reservoir
Where does the data for Red Fleet Reservoir 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.
