Lk Meredith Nr Sanford
LK Meredith Reservoir, located in Sanford, Texas, was constructed in 1965 and named after the late L.K. Meredith, a prominent businessman and rancher in the region. The reservoir has a capacity of 1.2 billion gallons and is used for various purposes, including flood control, municipal water supply, and recreation. The surface flow into the reservoir is primarily from the Canadian River, which is fed by snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains. The reservoir also receives some water from local streams and creeks. The primary recreational uses of the reservoir include fishing, boating, and camping. Additionally, the reservoir supports a significant agricultural industry in the surrounding area, particularly for cotton and wheat crops.

About Lk Meredith Nr Sanford
Where does the data for Lk Meredith Nr Sanford 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.
