| Below is an example of how to convert the Stage Level to current water levels of Lake Koshkonong. | ||
| The Datum Gage and Stage Level are measured in feet above sea level. | ||
| Datum Gage + Stage Level = Water Elevation Today |
770.00 Datum Gage + 5.42 Sample Stage Level ------------------------------------------- 775.42 Water Elevation Today |
|
| The Datum Gage is always 770.00. The Stage level varies with water elevations. | ||
| Summer Operating Orders 776.33 Maximum 776.20 Target Level 776.10 Minimum |
Winter Operating Orders 775.77 Maximum 775.27 Crest of Dam 775.00 Minimum |
776.20 Summer Target - 775.95 Water Elevation Today -------------------------------------------- .25 feet Below Target .25 feet = 3 inches |
| Find the Exact Lake Level for Any Date - Between 7/1/85 through 9/28/05 Example: If Water Elevation Today is 775.95 and it is summer, then subtract the Water Elevation Today from the Summer Target. The result is in feet. If the number is positive, then the Water Elevation Today is below the target level. Converseley, if the number is negative, then the Water Elevation Today is above the target level. To convert to inches, multiply by 12. |
