  • Reservoir elevation Bureau of Reclamation RISE · ID 393 · ft msl (USBR) Official page
  • Reservoir storage Bureau of Reclamation RISE · ID 393 Official page

The headline number is the reservoir elevation reported by Bureau of Reclamation RISE (typically daily). The "Measured" time is when the agency recorded it; "Retrieved" is when this site last downloaded it.

Recent readings are provisional and may be revised by the agency. Wind, waves and dam operations can change the level between readings. This page is not a flood warning or navigation service; for safety information contact the lake operator and the National Weather Service.
