Middle Fork Brush Creek At Edison
Middle Fork Brush Creek is a tributary of the West Fork River, located in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. The area has a rich history of coal mining and logging, with evidence of human settlement dating back over 10,000 years. The hydrology of Middle Fork Brush Creek is influenced by both surface water flow and snowpack, with the West Fork River watershed providing a significant source of water. The area is used for agricultural purposes, including grazing and hay production, as well as recreational activities such as fishing, camping, and hiking. The stream is also a popular spot for kayaking and canoeing, with its rapids and scenic views attracting adventure seekers from around the region. Despite its natural beauty, Middle Fork Brush Creek is also under threat from pollution and environmental degradation, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to protect this valuable resource.

Inside the reservoir
The real shoreline of this water body, with a depth model scaled so the basin holds exactly its recorded storage. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, and use the slider to drain and refill it. Click anywhere on the basin for the modelled depth there.
How this is built. The shoreline is the National Hydrography
Dataset polygon for this water body,
matched to the dam by proximity and confirmed by comparing its area with the
National Inventory of Dams surface area.
Depth is modelled, not surveyed: the basin is shaped by distance from
shore — deep in open water, shallow in the bays — and scaled so its
volume equals the recorded storage. No national bathymetric survey exists for
US reservoirs. Treat the shoreline, area and volume as measured, and the depth
distribution as an informed approximation.
Above normal pool, water is shown rising within the normal-pool
shoreline. Where it would actually spread depends on the surrounding
terrain, which is not modelled here — a reservoir in a steep canyon barely
widens, one on flat ground can spread a long way. This is a depth and volume
figure, not an inundation map. Official inundation mapping for a dam
comes from its Emergency Action Plan.
Plan around the weather

About Middle Fork Brush Creek At Edison
What is the water level at Middle Fork Brush Creek At Edison Reservoir right now?
As of September 19, 2026, Middle Fork Brush Creek At Edison Reservoir is holding 21 ft, about 96% of normal for this date. Pool elevation and the year-over-year trend are shown above.
Is Middle Fork Brush Creek At Edison Reservoir high or low right now?
Compare the percent-of-normal figure on this page: above 100% means storage is higher than the historical average for the date (a wet year), below 100% means lower (a dry year or drought). The daily-levels chart shows the current trend.
Where does the data for Middle Fork Brush Creek At Edison 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.
