Whitney Lk Nr Whitney reservoir
Whitney Lk Nr Whitney
Whitney Lake, located in Whitney, Texas, is a man-made lake created in 1951 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood control, water supply, and recreation. The lake's hydrology is primarily influenced by the Brazos River and has a surface area of over 23,500 acres. Whitney Lake provides water supply for irrigation and livestock, as well as recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The lake's watershed area includes significant agricultural land, and the reservoir's water is used for irrigation by farmers within the region. Whitney Lake also receives significant snowpack from the surrounding areas, which contributes to the lake's water supply. The lake plays an essential role in the economy and recreation of the surrounding communities.

About Whitney Lk Nr Whitney
Where does the data for Whitney Lk Nr Whitney 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.
