Water Management Issues:

1.  Detailed scheduled release information for the next few days is shown on this graph.

2.  The May 2024 B120 report translates to a Below Normal water year.  This designation is expected to persist for the rest of May through early February next year.  Consequently, the above schedule reflects this scenario through February 9, 2025.  Check back in early February for an update.

3.  Times reflect releases at Chili Bar.  It takes approximately two hours for the water to travel from Chili Bar to Coloma, and three hours to Camp Lotus.

4.  Releases shown are minimum releases.  Actual releases may be higher than shown.  In addition, sudden higher or lower (or no) releases may result from emergency mechanical or electrical conditions.

5.  Users are urged to use caution and to wear all appropriate personal protective equipment.
