If there was you have plenty of lead time to increase the water flow out of the damns. There is no reason whatsoever, (other then economic Payoffs), to let more then a couple of feet out before November.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484977772818432598.post-1254432325280941292021-04-19T21:51:11.483-07:002021-04-19T21:51:11.483-07:00"in order to manage flood risk" This st..."in order to manage flood risk" This statement is not true at all!! They could easily manage the flood risk and still have 6 months of full pool (or within a couple of feet), as the law required. Science and technology in the last 30 years or more have made if very easy to predict lake levels off of snow pack and rain full to prevent flooding. There are only economic reasons for not raising the water level higher and faster then what they are doing. Electricity for major population centers to name the biggest. What makes it so aggravation is they just will not tell the truth about it, and keep hiding behind flood control when they know damn good and well that is not the main reason for starving the lake of water.
