We turn official public records into useful views while preserving the source, time, and meaning of each number.
Automated jobs retrieve public feeds, validate the expected fields and dates, and build a static snapshot. A failed import does not replace the last checked file. The public page may still become stale, so freshness and source links matter.
TWDB recent conditions JSON supplies the current reading. Each reservoir’s 30-day CSV supplies the trend. Percent full compares conservation storage with conservation capacity; it is not a lake-depth percentage. The source date can precede our retrieval.
TWDB downloadsShasta, Oroville and Folsom use CDEC daily sensor 6 elevation in feet. We retain its series date and observation date separately and omit missing values. Lake Lanier uses USGS 02334400 parameter 00062. Smith Mountain uses AEP’s published forebay table and original timestamp. These sources do not share a normalized storage percentage, so they stay outside the Texas comparison. Bull Shoals currently has an official-source guide while its automated feed remains unverified.
Check source dates →NOAA CO-OPS predicts high and low water for the station printed on each page. We receive events in UTC, convert to the station’s local time zone, and show feet relative to MLLW. Weather and distance from the reference station can change observed conditions.
NOAA tide APIUSGS parameter 00065 gives the latest stage in feet at a named station. Stage uses that gauge’s local datum, so values at different gauges should not be compared. Daily mean trend data appear only when the selected station publishes enough values.
USGS modern APIEPA zones describe county-level radon potential, not measurements for a home or a USPS ZIP code. We join EPA county labels to Census 2020 county equivalents and ZCTA relationships. 3,096 counties match; unmatched places show no zone. A ZCTA can span counties, and every home should be tested.
EPA zone explanationAnnual and hourly rates are read directly from OPM’s 2026 General Schedule spreadsheet for base GS, Washington-Baltimore-Arlington, and Rest of U.S. tables. We do not derive capped pay from a locality percentage. The pages omit special rates and do not decide a worker’s applicable locality.
OPM spreadsheetTexas and Arkansas status can change through local orders. The site does not have a reliable verified machine-readable county-status feed, so it does not republish a yes/no status. The state guides link to official maps and explain the need to check the issuing authority.
Burn-ban source guidesNOAA SPC’s current daily CSV is preliminary and refreshed often. NCEI Storm Events is reviewed but delayed; the available 2026 file reaches 2026-06-30. We keep them separate and do not infer a street-address hail footprint.
NCEI bulk fileThe site is designed for daily water, river, and preliminary hail imports, plus weekly checks of the slower OPM, EPA/Census, and NCEI reference files. If a job fails or a source lags, follow the agency link on the page for the current record.
