B. A. Steinhagen Lk At Town Bluff reservoir
B. A. Steinhagen Lk At Town Bluff
B.A. Steinhagen Lake, located near Town Bluff, Texas, was created in 1951 by the construction of a dam on the Neches River. The lake covers over 10,000 acres and is a popular spot for fishing, boating, and camping. The hydrology of the lake is fed by the Neches River and other smaller streams, and it provides water for nearby agricultural uses. The lake also serves as a vital habitat for a variety of fish and wildlife species. The surface flow of the lake is maintained by releases from the Sam Rayburn Dam upstream, and snowpack providers are not a significant factor in this region. Overall, B.A. Steinhagen Lake is an important recreational and ecological resource for the Southeast Texas region.

About B. A. Steinhagen Lk At Town Bluff
Where does the data for B. A. Steinhagen Lk At Town Bluff 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.
