About this reservoir

Lake Champlain At Burlington

Lake Champlain is a large freshwater lake located on the border of Vermont and New York. Burlington, Vermont, is one of the largest cities situated along the shores of Lake Champlain. The lake has a long history, having been used for transportation, fishing, and recreation by Native Americans and European settlers for centuries. Today, Lake Champlain is an important hydrological system, providing drinking water for many towns and cities in Vermont. The lake is fed by several small rivers, including the Winooski River, and by snowmelt in the spring. Agricultural practices in the surrounding area have had a significant impact on the lake's water quality, which has led to efforts to reduce nutrient pollution. Recreational uses of the lake include fishing, boating, and swimming.

FAQ

About Lake Champlain At Burlington

Where does the data for Lake Champlain At Burlington 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.
