Water Management Issues:

1.  Early releases (4am to 7am) were provided on four days, shown dark green in the above schedule.  Saturday June 26 was the Western States 100 race day.  July 24 was the Tevis Cup race day.  Note that releases were extended an extra two hours on Memorial Day (May 31) to 9am, and on Aug 21 an extra 4.5 hours to 11:30 am.

2.  Times reflect releases at Oxbow Powerhouse/Ralston Dam.  It takes approximately two hours for the water to travel from Oxbow Powerhouse to the gauge above Tunnel Chute, about 6 hours to reach the Ruck-a-Chucky/Drivers Flat area, and about 10 hours to reach the North Fork confluence.
