Catalog Record
Lake Lowell (Idaho) Sedimentation Survey Data
Lake Lowell Sedimentation Survey Data. The primary purpose of this type of survey is to determine the present storage-elevation relationship of the reservoir and possible change in storage due to sedimentation. Lake Lowell is associated with Deer Flat Dam. Reservoir sedimentation surveys typically contain a survey report, area-capacity (ACAP) table, and geospatial data.

Lake Lowell and Deer Flat Dams (LOW)
Location Description
Lake Lowell, originally known as Deer Flat Reservoir, is an offstream reservoir formed by three earthfill dams enclosing a natural depression southwest of Nampa, Idaho. These three dams are the Upper, Middle (Forest Dam), and Lower Embankments. A fourth embankment called the East (Roadway Dike) is to protect farmsteads on the eastern end of the reservoir when the reservoir is full. The dams were constructed from 1906 to 1911. Columbia Basin Teletype (CBTT) = LOW.
