Is Lenore Lake low for this time of year?

Compared with every October in our records, the current level is higher than 78% of them, which we classify as above average for this time of year.

Why is Lenore Lake changing right now?

Reservoir levels move for four main reasons: rainfall and runoff into the basin, releases through the dam for downstream water supply, power generation or flood control, evaporation during hot months, and seasonal drawdown schedules set by the operating agency. Lenore Lake has fallen 0.15 ft over the past 30 days. For the operational reason on any given week, check the U.S. Geological Survey directly.
