Every other water agency has some sort of website that shows water levels.

I'm still trying to find one for MWD.

Still no luck.

Here is a link that shows acre feet. Diamond Valley = DMV. Lots of good information on most lakes in California on CDEC site.

I wish they posted the current level for both DVL and Skinner. It makes it hard to generate accurate social maps without it. I can find the level for just about every other lake in SoCal.

Great link!

Now if we know what DVL's AF at full capacity is, that chart would be excellent.

810,000 AF per the below link.

So 634,422/810,000....

78.32% capacity.

Nice! That's a lot of liquid gold for MWD.

I guess it depends on what you want to do with the data. None of that helps with with determining the water level. What does 78% full tell you about the actual water level? Could be 5' down or 50' down.

based on the last elevation posted on the CDEC website and my elevation conversion spreadsheet DVL is at 1720' which is 36' from full pool.

Where did you find an elevation on the CDEC website?

elevation is not available on the CDEC website. I have a spreadsheet that lays out the lake elevation in 0.01 foot increments based on the storage (acre feet) within the lake. 640,000 AF equates to 1720' elevation.

Would you be willing to share the spreadsheet?

I did not author the spreadsheet, so it is not for me to share. Sorry

That's OK. I have been able to find enough data points in the history listing elevation and storage to get a good graph.
