IFIM Update
Yesterday the consultant completed the 150 cfs flow stage of data collection at the selected locations on the study portion of the river. ARWA staff reduced the release flow last night so the consultant could start on the 50 cfs flow stage today. This morning the reservoir level was already one-inch higher than yesterday morning. This level will continue to recover about an inch a day while this flow stage is performed. The rains today have increased the river flows at the upstream gauging stations. These flows will reach the reservoir in 2 to 3 days and should completely fill the reservoir after the current flow stage is completed.
