Addicks Res Nr Addicks reservoir
Addicks Res Nr Addicks
Addicks Reservoir, located in Texas, was built in 1948 to control flooding within the Buffalo Bayou watershed. The reservoir is part of a larger flood control project built by the US Army Corps of Engineers. It has a capacity of 120,000 acre-feet and covers an area of about 2,200 acres. The reservoir is fed by several creeks and bayous, including Bear Creek, Horsepen Creek, Langham Creek, and South Mayde Creek. These waterways provide surface flow to the reservoir, while snowpack is not a significant contributor. The reservoir also serves as a water supply source and provides recreational opportunities such as fishing and boating. Additionally, the surrounding land is used for agricultural purposes.

About Addicks Res Nr Addicks
Where does the data for Addicks Res Nr Addicks 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.
