Canyon Lk Nr New Braunfels reservoir
Canyon Lk Nr New Braunfels
Canyon Lake is a man-made reservoir located on the Guadalupe River in Texas, near the city of New Braunfels. The lake was created in the 1960s with the construction of the Canyon Dam, which was intended to provide flood control and a reliable water supply to the surrounding areas. Today, the lake is used for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and swimming. Hydrologically, the lake is fed by several smaller tributaries, including the Rebecca Creek and the Spring Branch, which contribute to its surface flow. Additionally, snowpack from the nearby hills and mountains can also provide a significant source of water to the lake. The agricultural uses of the lake are limited, but it does provide water for irrigation in some nearby areas.

About Canyon Lk Nr New Braunfels
Where does the data for Canyon Lk Nr New Braunfels 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.
