FALLS LAKE ABOVE DAM NR FALLS

Reservoir Levels Weather Hydrology


Falls Lake, located above the Falls Dam in North Carolina, was created in 1981 as a reservoir for hydroelectric power generation and to provide drinking water for the surrounding communities. The lake is fed by several surface flow providers, including the Little River, Eno River, and Flat River, and is also dependent on snowpack from the nearby mountains. Falls Lake is crucial for agriculture as it provides irrigation for nearby farms and is a popular recreational spot for fishing, boating, and camping. However, the lake has faced environmental challenges such as algal blooms and pollution from nearby agricultural activities. In recent years, efforts have been made to improve the water quality of Falls Lake through better management practices and increased awareness.
