Causey Reservoir reservoir
Causey Reservoir
Causey Reservoir is a man-made lake located in Weber County, Utah. The reservoir was built in 1966 by the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District with the primary purpose of providing water for agricultural irrigation. The reservoir is fed by the North, Middle, and South Forks of the Ogden River, which are the main surface flow providers. Snowpack from the surrounding mountains also contributes to the reservoir's water supply. The reservoir has a capacity of 55,200 acre-feet and is an important source of water for municipal and agricultural use in the region. It also serves as a popular recreational spot for fishing, boating, and other water activities, attracting thousands of visitors each year. The area surrounding the reservoir is managed by the US Forest Service and offers several hiking trails and camping areas.

About Causey Reservoir
Where does the data for Causey Reservoir 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.
