Cottage Grove Lake Nr Cottage Grove reservoir
Cottage Grove Lake Nr Cottage Grove
Cottage Grove Lake is a reservoir located in Lane County, Oregon. The lake was created in 1942 by the construction of Cottage Grove Dam on the Coast Fork Willamette River. The dam's primary purpose is to provide flood control and hydroelectric power to the region. The lake's hydrology is influenced by its location in the Coast Range, which receives significant amounts of precipitation. The primary surface flow provider is the Coast Fork Willamette River, while snowpack also contributes to the lake's water supply. The lake is used for a variety of recreational activities, including boating, fishing, and swimming, and it also provides irrigation water for nearby agricultural operations. The area surrounding the lake is home to a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles and otters.

About Cottage Grove Lake Nr Cottage Grove
Where does the data for Cottage Grove Lake Nr Cottage Grove 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.
