Murvaul Lk Nr Gary reservoir
Murvaul Lk Nr Gary
Murvaul Lake is a reservoir located in Panola County, Texas, near the town of Gary. It was created in 1958 as a result of the construction of a dam on the Murvaul Creek. The lake is fed by several small creeks and is part of the Cypress Bayou watershed. The hydrology of the lake is closely monitored by the Sabine River Authority, which manages the lake and surrounding lands.
The lake is primarily used for recreational purposes, including fishing, boating, and camping. It is stocked with a variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, and sunfish. The lake also provides water for irrigation in the surrounding agricultural areas.
During periods of heavy rainfall, the lake can experience significant surface flow, which can lead to flooding in downstream areas. The lake also receives some snowpack runoff from nearby areas, which can contribute to its water levels.
Overall, Murvaul Lake is an important resource for both the local community and the surrounding region, providing water for irrigation and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

About Murvaul Lk Nr Gary
Where does the data for Murvaul Lk Nr Gary 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.
