Lake Red Rock Pool's coordinates fall outside every category on the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor map. That describes local conditions — rainfall, soil moisture, streamflow — not the reservoir's storage. Iowa drought figures →
Data source: USACE CWMS — US Army Corps of Engineers — daily reservoir storage volume. Design capacity is unavailable for this site, so fill % is estimated against the 5-year maximum storage and may overstate fullness. Last reading: 2026-10-15.
