Marlin Run At Marlinton reservoir
Marlin Run At Marlinton
The Marlin Run in Marlinton, WV has a rich history dating back to the 1800s when it was used to power a sawmill. Today, it serves as a popular recreational spot for kayaking and fishing enthusiasts. The Marlin Run is a tributary of the Greenbrier River and is fed by surface flow and snowpack from nearby mountains. The surrounding area is primarily used for agriculture, with a focus on hay production and livestock grazing. The Marlin Run is also used for irrigation purposes, providing water to nearby farms. The hydrology of the Marlin Run has been impacted by human activity, including logging and mining, but efforts are being made to restore the health of the waterway.

About Marlin Run At Marlinton
Where does the data for Marlin Run At Marlinton 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 below 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.
