Lavon Lk Nr Lavon reservoir
Lavon Lk Nr Lavon
Lavon Lake is located in Texas and was created in 1953 as a result of the construction of the Lavon Dam. The lake serves as a reservoir for water supply to the North Texas Municipal Water District. The hydrology of the lake is influenced by rainfall and surface runoff from surrounding areas. The surface flow is maintained by releases from the dam and water from the East Fork of the Trinity River. The snowpack providers for the lake are minimal as Texas does not receive significant snowfall. The lake also serves as a recreational area for fishing, boating, and camping. In addition, the surrounding agricultural areas utilize the water from the lake for irrigation purposes.

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