O. C. Fisher Lk At San Angelo reservoir
O. C. Fisher Lk At San Angelo
O.C. Fisher Lake is a reservoir located in San Angelo, Texas. It was created by the impounding of the North Concho River in 1952 and was named after O.C. Fisher, a former Texas State Senator. The lake has a capacity of 40,500 acre-feet and serves as a source of drinking water for the city of San Angelo. The hydrology of the area is influenced by the surrounding arid climate, with the lake being fed by surface flows from the North Concho River and rainfall. Snowpack is not significant in this region. The lake also serves as a popular spot for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. Agricultural activities in the area include ranching and farming. However, the lake is currently experiencing a prolonged drought, with water levels at historic lows.

About O. C. Fisher Lk At San Angelo
Where does the data for O. C. Fisher Lk At San Angelo 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.
