Water Management Issues:

1.  The final release schedule will be based on the official water year type for 2020, which in turn will be based on CA DWR's May B120 report (expected around May 8).

2.  Since the May report isn't available yet, the above PROVISIONAL schedule is based on the March report, which predicts that the current water year is Dry.

3.  However, if the final water year ends up being Critically Dry instead of Dry, then the above schedule will change to match (we'll lose two release days: the 16th and 30th).  Conversely, if by some miracle the final water year ends up better than Dry, then the above schedule changes too (in non-obvious ways).  Bottom line: be sure to check back here around April 8, and again around May 8, for an update.

4.  Always check back here, and also the Ice House thread, before heading to the river.

5.  Times reflect releases below Ice House Dam.

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