Reservoir report
Vermont has numerous dams and reservoirs that serve multiple purposes, including flood control, hydroelectric power generation, and recreation. Some of the major reservoirs in the state include the Lake Champlain, the Green Mountain Reservoir, and the Harriman Reservoir. These reservoirs are fed by various streams, rivers, and creeks, such as the Otter Creek, the Lamoille River, and the West River. The snowpack and mountains are crucial to the hydrology of the area, as snowmelt from the mountains provides a significant portion of the water that feeds the reservoirs. The state has experienced record drought conditions in recent years, with dry spells affecting the water levels in the reservoirs. However, seasonal trends show that water levels typically increase during the spring and summer months when snowmelt and rainfall are more abundant. Overall, the reservoirs and dams in Vermont play a vital role in managing the state's water resources and supporting various industries and activities.

Reservoir FAQ
About Vermont dams & reservoirs
Where does the Vermont dam data come from?
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Inventory of Dams (NID) plus state water-resource agencies. Snoflo joins these public records with live USGS streamgauge readings downstream where available. The NID is the canonical federal dam registry.
What does Hazard Potential mean?
USACE classifies every dam by what would happen if it failed: Low (no loss of life expected, minimal economic damage), Significant (no loss of life but economic, environmental, or lifeline damage), High (loss of life expected). It's a downstream-consequence rating, not a likelihood of failure.
What is Normal Storage in acre-feet?
The volume of water the reservoir holds at its normal operating level, measured in acre-feet. One acre-foot is about 325,851 gallons or 1,233 cubic meters — the amount needed to cover one acre to a depth of one foot.
Why are some Vermont dams missing storage or height data?
USACE NID records can have gaps for small or older dams that pre-date federal reporting requirements. Snoflo surfaces whatever the canonical record contains. If a dam you care about has incomplete data, contact the operating agency or USACE for updates.
Can I see live water levels?
Yes — tap any dam name to open its detail page, which pulls live storage data from USGS streamgauges or operating-agency feeds where available. Historical levels and seasonal averages are also shown.
Why does Vermont have so many dams?
The U.S. has over 90,000 dams — most built between 1930 and 1980 during the federal water-development era. Vermont's count reflects a combination of agricultural irrigation needs, flood control, hydropower, and recreation. The "Built by decade" chart above shows the timeline.
