Lake Havasu as the Parker Dam regulating pool
Lake Havasu is the lower regulating reservoir behind Parker Dam and a major diversion point for Colorado River water. Reclamation describes a contractual operating range from 440 to 450 feet, with the lake generally managed in the upper portion of that band.
Use elevation first because Havasu is managed within a tight operating range, then check storage and short-term direction. The current Lower Colorado operations reading is paired with the RISE archive extending to 1938 so day-to-day movement can be placed in long-term context.
