Lk Tyler Nr Whitehouse reservoir
Lk Tyler Nr Whitehouse
LK Tyler is a reservoir located in Smith County, Texas, near Whitehouse. Originally constructed in the 1940s, the lake was created by damming Prairie Creek, a tributary of the Sabine River. The reservoir has a surface area of 2,224 acres and a maximum depth of 40 feet. It primarily serves as a source of drinking water for the surrounding area, and also provides opportunities for fishing and boating. The lake is fed by surface runoff and groundwater, as well as by snowpack from periodic winter storms. Agriculture is another important use of the area, with numerous farms and ranches located nearby. Despite its relatively small size, LK Tyler plays an important role in the hydrology and ecology of the region, and is a vital resource for the local community.

About Lk Tyler Nr Whitehouse
Where does the data for Lk Tyler Nr Whitehouse 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.
