Leon Res Nr Ranger reservoir
Leon Res Nr Ranger
Leon Reservoir is a man-made lake located in Ranger, Texas. Constructed in 1954, it was created primarily for flood control purposes. The reservoir covers an area of 2,600 acres and has a storage capacity of 82,600 acre-feet. The hydrology of the reservoir is fed by two main creeks, the Leon River and the Lambshead Creek, and is maintained by the Brazos River Authority. The lake is an important source of water for the surrounding agricultural community and provides recreational opportunities such as boating and fishing. The reservoir also serves as a source of drinking water for local municipalities. The lake is monitored for water quality and is stocked with fish by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

About Leon Res Nr Ranger
Where does the data for Leon Res Nr Ranger 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.
