Jordanelle Reservoir reservoir
Jordanelle Reservoir
Jordanelle Reservoir is a man-made reservoir located in Northern Utah. It was created in the 1990s by the construction of the Jordanelle Dam, which was built to provide water for the growing population of the Wasatch Front. The reservoir is fed by both surface flow and snowpack runoff from the surrounding mountains. The Provo River and its tributaries are the primary surface flow providers, while snowpack from the Wasatch Mountains is also an important source of water. The reservoir provides water for irrigation and agricultural purposes, as well as for recreational activities such as boating and fishing. The surrounding Jordanelle State Park is a popular destination for camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

About Jordanelle Reservoir
Where does the data for Jordanelle 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.
