Lake Overholser Near Oklahoma City reservoir
Lake Overholser Near Oklahoma City
Lake Overholser is a reservoir in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The lake was created in 1919 as a result of the construction of the Overholser Dam on the North Canadian River. The lake provides a source of drinking water for the city, as well as a venue for recreational activities such as fishing and boating. The hydrology of Lake Overholser is influenced by the North Canadian River, which provides surface flow to the lake. The lake is also supplied by snowpack from the surrounding mountains, which melts and flows into the river. The lake is used for agricultural purposes as well, with irrigation systems drawing water from the lake to irrigate crops in the surrounding farmland. Overall, Lake Overholser is an important resource for the city of Oklahoma City and the surrounding region.

About Lake Overholser Near Oklahoma City
Where does the data for Lake Overholser Near Oklahoma City 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.
