Lk Daniel Nr Breckenridge reservoir
Lk Daniel Nr Breckenridge
LK Daniel is a reservoir located in Stephens County, Texas. The lake was created by damming Hubbard Creek and has a surface area of approximately 2,550 acres. The lake was constructed in 1959 by the city of Breckenridge for municipal water supply purposes. The hydrology of the lake is heavily influenced by the surrounding land use, including agriculture and oil and gas activities. The lake is also fed by several creeks and streams, which provide important surface flow. Snowpack is not a significant source of water for LK Daniel, as the area experiences a subtropical climate. The lake is used for both recreational and agricultural purposes, including boating, fishing, and irrigation for nearby farms.

About Lk Daniel Nr Breckenridge
Where does the data for Lk Daniel Nr Breckenridge 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.
