Lk Electra Nr Electra reservoir
Lk Electra Nr Electra
LK Electra and NR Electra are two man-made lakes located in Electra, Texas. Created in the 1950s as part of a regional flood control project, the lakes serve as important reservoirs for the surrounding area. The hydrology of the lakes is largely influenced by Wichita River and its tributaries, which feed into the lakes. The surrounding area receives relatively little snow, so snowpack is not a significant source of water for the lakes.
Apart from serving as water sources for municipal and agricultural purposes, the lakes are also popular recreational destinations for fishing, boating, and swimming. The lakes are stocked with a variety of fish species including catfish, bass, and crappie. The surrounding area is also home to several farms and ranches, which rely on the lakes for irrigation. Overall, LK Electra and NR Electra play an important role in the hydrology and economy of the Electra region of Texas.

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