Recent Davis Dam Water Release Trend

How Davis Dam Releases Regulate Lake Mohave Outflow

Davis Dam regulates outflow from Lake Mohave below Hoover Dam. The hourly schedule shows when planned flow changes within a day, while the daily series provides a comparable full-day average.

Reclamation's Davis schedule is published hour by hour in Mountain Standard Time, and every value remains an operating estimate subject to change.

The generating-unit count shown here is estimated from release volume. It is a visual operating proxy, not a report of individual Davis plant unit status.

One cubic foot per second sustained for a full day is about 1.98 acre-feet. Recorded and forecast values remain separately labeled because operating schedules can be revised.

Data Sources and Update Schedule

The Davis Dam cards require exact Arizona dates; if hourly source rows have not arrived, the 24-hour schedule is marked unavailable instead of borrowing another day’s rows.

Source records may be provisional and revised. Forecasts are planning information, not guaranteed outcomes.

Davis Dam Daily Water Release Forecast Data

Davis Dam daily-average release forecast (8 dates)

The first five days of each Reclamation publication are public. Lake Projections Pro includes up to three additional days when available. This daily series is separate from the hourly schedule.
