Franklin Roosevelt Lake At Grand Coulee Dam reservoir
Franklin Roosevelt Lake At Grand Coulee Dam
Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake is a reservoir created by the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. The lake was named after President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who dedicated the dam in 1941. The dam is the largest hydroelectric facility in the United States and provides power to millions of homes. The lake has a surface area of over 100 square miles and is fed by the Columbia River and nearby snowpacks. It provides irrigation for agricultural land in the region and is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The lake is also an important habitat for fish and wildlife, including salmon, trout, and bald eagles.

About Franklin Roosevelt Lake At Grand Coulee Dam
Where does the data for Franklin Roosevelt Lake At Grand Coulee Dam 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.
