How many lakes and reservoirs in Virginia are tracked here?

10, of which 10 report a current pool-elevation reading. The rest report storage only, or lack a fresh reading and are not published.

None of Virginia's lakes in this dataset currently have a source-provided %-full figure — we show the bare level rather than estimate one.

Where does the data come from?

USGS Water Services and USACE CWMS Data, both public domain. See the methodology page for the exact endpoints and update cadence.
