Field notes
The map derives storage and area from its lake-floor grid, scaling those calculations by 0.4% to match reported storage. Its methods section identifies the source data and flags approximations, including irrigation-district boundaries and some within-state impact splits. Forecasts use Reclamation’s September 2026 set; two Most Probable runs were read from a chart because they were published there rather than in tables.
