Echo Reservoir reservoir
Echo Reservoir
Echo Reservoir is located in eastern Utah and was constructed in 1931 for irrigation purposes. It has a capacity of 74,000 acre-feet and is fed by the Weber River and the snowpack from the Uinta Mountains. The reservoir is managed by the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District and provides water for agriculture, drinking, and recreation. The reservoir is a popular spot for boating, fishing, camping, and swimming during the summer months. In the winter, the surrounding area is popular for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. The Weber River provides important habitat for fish species such as brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout. The reservoir is also home to a variety of bird species including bald eagles, ospreys, and herons.

About Echo Reservoir
Where does the data for Echo 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.
