Lk Brownwood Nr Brownwood reservoir
Lk Brownwood Nr Brownwood
LK Brownwood Reservoir is located in Brownwood, Texas and was created in 1933 with the construction of the Brownwood Dam. The reservoir is supplied by the Pecan Bayou, a tributary of the Colorado River. It serves as a primary water source for the city of Brownwood and surrounding areas. The reservoir has a capacity of 83,000 acre-feet and is used for irrigation, municipal water supply, and recreation. In terms of surface flow, the Pecan Bayou provides the majority of inflow, while snowpack is not a significant factor for this region. The reservoir is also used for recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and camping. Additionally, the surrounding area is home to agricultural activities, with crops such as cotton, peanuts, and wheat being grown in the region.

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