Lk Mexia Nr Mexia reservoir
Lk Mexia Nr Mexia
Located in Texas, Lake Mexia NR Mexia is a small reservoir built in 1963 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The lake's primary purpose is to provide flood control to the surrounding areas, but it also provides recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The hydrology of the lake is fed by two major creeks, Tehuacana Creek and Willow Creek, and several smaller tributaries. The lake's surface flow is mainly used for irrigation of agricultural lands, with cotton being the primary crop. The area also receives snowpack from time to time, which helps to replenish the lake's water levels. The lake has a maximum depth of 40 feet and covers approximately 1,140 acres.

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