A data frame containing morphometric and geographic characteristics for major reservoirs in Oklahoma, compiled from publicly available sources to enable rapid setup of okBATHTUB pipelines without manual morphometric lookup.
Format
A data frame with one row per reservoir and the following columns:
- lake_name
Character. Canonical lake name.
- alt_name
Character. Common alternate name, if any.
- county
Character. Primary Oklahoma county.
- managing_agency
Character. Primary managing agency.
- primary_use
Character. Primary designated use.
- surface_area_ha
Numeric. Normal pool surface area (hectares).
- mean_depth_m
Numeric. Mean depth at normal pool (metres).
- max_depth_m
Numeric. Maximum depth at normal pool (metres).
- volume_m3
Numeric. Total storage at normal pool (m^3).
- watershed_area_km2
Numeric. Contributing watershed area (km^2).
- eco_l3_code
Character. EPA Level III ecoregion code.
- eco_l3_name
Character. EPA Level III ecoregion name.
- latitude
Numeric. Approximate dam latitude (WGS84 decimal degrees).
- longitude
Numeric. Approximate dam longitude (WGS84 decimal degrees).
- year_completed
Integer. Year dam was completed.
- data_quality
Character. Data quality code:
"A"= direct from authoritative source (USACE design memoranda, published bathymetric surveys, or National Inventory of Dams);"B"= mean depth estimated from Oklahoma regional regression.- notes
Character. Data source or caveat.
Source
Compiled from publicly available sources including U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Tulsa District design memoranda, the National Inventory of Dams (NID), U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) design data, and published Oklahoma Water Resources Board reports. This dataset is provided as a convenience starting point and should be verified against the most current authoritative source for any decision-relevant application.
Data quality
Mean depth is the most critical morphometric parameter for okBATHTUB
modelling (it drives hydraulic residence time). For reservoirs coded
"B", mean depth was estimated using an Oklahoma regional log-log
regression fitted to reservoirs with known bathymetry:
$$\log_{10}(\text{mean depth}) = 0.28 \times \log_{10}(\text{area in ha}) - 0.34$$
This regression has substantial residual scatter; the resulting depth
carries roughly a factor-of-1.5 prediction interval. Users with access
to authoritative bathymetric data for specific reservoirs are
encouraged to supply those values directly to ok_hydraulics() rather
than relying on the estimated values here.
