Pat Mayse Lk Nr Chicota reservoir
Pat Mayse Lk Nr Chicota
Pat Mayse Lake is a man-made reservoir situated in the Red River Basin in Texas, with a capacity of over 250,000 acre-feet. The lake was created in 1969 by the construction of the Pat Mayse Dam on Chicota Creek, a tributary of the Red River. The primary purpose of the lake is to control flooding in the Red River Basin, but it also serves as a source of drinking water and a popular recreational area. The hydrology of Pat Mayse Lake is influenced by precipitation, snowpack, and surface water flow from Chicota Creek. The lake is used for fishing, boating, and camping, and the surrounding area is a popular spot for hunting and wildlife viewing. The lake also supports agricultural activities, including irrigation and livestock grazing.

About Pat Mayse Lk Nr Chicota
Where does the data for Pat Mayse Lk Nr Chicota 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.
