Post a reportBureau of Reclamation station 504, Waconda Lake and Glen Elder Dam. Reclamation publishes a day or two behind, so the date beside the reading is the date of record, not today. Readings describe the reservoir at the gauge; a shallow arm miles upstream will not match them.
Readings come from Bureau of Reclamation station 504, Waconda Lake and Glen Elder Dam. It reports storage and reservoir elevation. Reclamation publishes daily and runs a day or two behind. Readings describe the reservoir at the gauge; a shallow arm miles upstream will not match them.
