Upper Klamath Lake Near Klamath Falls
Upper Klamath Lake is a large freshwater lake located near Klamath Falls, Oregon. The lake has a rich history dating back to prehistoric times when Native American tribes lived in the area. The hydrology of the lake is influenced by various surface flow and snowpack providers, such as the Williamson and Sprague Rivers, and the nearby Cascade Mountains. The lake is used for several agricultural and recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and bird watching. However, the lake has been facing several environmental issues, such as water quality deterioration, habitat degradation, and fish population decline. Efforts are being made to address these issues through various restoration projects and management strategies.

About Upper Klamath Lake Near Klamath Falls
Where does the data for Upper Klamath Lake Near Klamath Falls 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.
