Benbrook Lk Nr Benbrook reservoir
Benbrook Lk Nr Benbrook
Benbrook Lake is a reservoir located on the Clear Fork of the Trinity River in Texas, USA. The lake was created in 1952 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide flood control, water supply, and recreation. The hydrology of Benbrook Lake is primarily fed by the Clear Fork of the Trinity River, which is also the main surface flow provider. In addition, during the winter season, snowpack provides significant runoff that contributes to the lake's hydrology. The lake serves as a vital source of water supply for the city of Fort Worth and other surrounding areas. Agriculture activities are minimal around the lake, while recreational uses include boating, fishing, camping, hiking, and bird-watching. Overall, Benbrook Lake plays a crucial role in providing various benefits to the region.

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