Why this page shows a volume and not a percentage

Percentage full is a division, and the denominator is missing

“Percentage full” is the figure a drought is discussed in, and it is stored volume divided by capacity. Capacity is published on several different bases — gross, usable, live, and the figure at a particular spillway or licence condition — and dividing a stored volume by the wrong one produces a percentage confidently wrong by the ratio between them, at exactly the moment the number matters most.

Hydrionis holds storage measurements for this reservoir and does not hold a compatible authoritative capacity figure for it, so percentage full is not calculated. The volume above is what was actually measured. Where you need a percentage, take the publisher’s own capacity on its own stated basis and divide it yourself — the source is linked below, and knowing which basis you used is the whole point.

Water level

Monthly mean water surface elevation

666 monthly values

An elevation above a datum, not a depth of water and not a distance below the crest. Levels at different reservoirs are measured against different datums and must not be read against one another; this line is comparable only with its own history. Elevation and volume are not proportional either — a metre near the bottom of a reservoir holds far less water than a metre near the top, because the surface area grows with height.

Rate and persistence

-0.71 Mm³

Mean drawdown per month over 12 months

4 of 24

Recent months below the 20th percentile for their own month

Rates are computed only across an unbroken run of months, so a rate is never divided by a period in which some of the change was not observed. Percentile counts compare each month with the same calendar month in every other year held.

About this data

Everything below is a property of the data rather than a rating of it. There is deliberately no single confidence score: how much a gap matters depends on what you are about to do with the series, and only you know that.

Source	United States Bureau of Reclamation — Reservoir operations and Colorado River data · US Government work — public domain
How the values came to exist	Measured
Period held	1966–2026
Completeness	98.1% of the periods in that span are held. Gaps are drawn as breaks and never interpolated.
Known gaps	Storage is a managed quantity. A falling line can be a rule curve, a scheduled release or a transfer to another system rather than a shortage of water, and nothing here distinguishes them. No capacity figure on a stated basis is held for this reservoir, so no percentage of capacity is computed.
Continuity	98% of the months between 1966 and 2026 are held. Monthly means of the publisher's own daily record.
Last read from the publisher	2026-09-01
Redistribution	Permitted by the upstream licences
Commercial reuse	Permitted by the upstream licences. No Hydrionis access tier can widen this.

No bulk download is offered here, which is a licence position rather than a product one: at least one contributing publisher does not permit redistribution. The values can be read on the page, cited, and pointed to at source.

Attribution and citation

Suggested citation for Hydrionis

Hydrionis (2026), Hyatt Reservoir reservoir records, accessed 2026-09-02, hydrionis.com/reservoirs/reservoir-usbr-7183/

Cite Hydrionis where you rely on the compilation, the normalisation, the eligibility judgements or a chart. Where you use an unmodified published value, the publisher’s attribution is the one that is required; crediting Hydrionis as well is welcome and is not something Hydrionis can require of you.

Recommended, not required. Hydrionis does not claim rights over unmodified public data it relayed, and doing arithmetic on somebody else’s measurements does not make them Hydrionis’s. Cite the version and the access date: the Hyatt Reservoir record changes as publishers release and as methods are revised, and a citation without both cannot be checked later. Full guidance is on cite and reuse.

None of the contributing licences requires attribution. Crediting the publishers is still good practice and they are listed above.

Where this comes from

Source: USBR — Reservoir operations and Colorado River data, RISE catalogue item 131063. Licence: Open.

Method: Monthly mean of the daily values published by the Bureau of Reclamation in acre-feet, converted to Mm³. Months with fewer than 20 days of record are not published rather than averaged from a partial month.

Stored as a volume and not as a share of capacity: the operator publishes what is in the reservoir but not what it holds when full, so a percentage cannot be computed without inventing the denominator.
