| The B120 report for May came out yesterday, and it predicts that the "Unimpaired Runoff" above Folsom Reservoir will be 2.850 MAF (million acre-feet). This is almost exactly the same as last month, so the water year type stays at Above Normal.
This is the final report for the year, and the Above Normal designation is expected to remain in effect until around February 10, 2017.
The schedule until the end of February, 2017, based on this year's "Above Normal" water year designation, is posted here.

| SMUD shared their predictions of expected average inflow to Chili Bar for this coming week as follows:

Divide by 2 to get an idea of the daily average in CFS, e.g. the proposed Saturday average flow is about 3500 cfs. Note these are only the average flows; expect fluctuations, sometimes big ones. Note also that this is what SMUD expect to release, based on their calculations ... depending on all sorts of factors (such as weather), it could be more, or less. However, barring emergencies, you can confidently count on at least the scheduled releases.

| SMUD shared their release predictions for this coming week. In the following table, 'Inflow' is the anticipated average inflow to Chili Bar reservoir, while 'Release' is the required minimum release to the river per the license agreement:
| Day | Date | Inflow | Release
| | Wed | Aug 10 | 1184 AF | 1500 cfs for 3 hours
| | Thu | Aug 11 | 1184 AF | 1500 cfs for 3 hours
| | Fri | Aug 12 | 1656 AF | 1500 cfs for 3 hours
| | Sat | Aug 13 | 1656 AF | 1750 cfs for 6 hours
| | Sun | Aug 14 | 1184 AF | 1750 cfs for 6 hours
| | Mon | Aug 15 | 1184 AF | 1500 cfs for 3 hours

Divide by 2 to get an idea of the daily average in CFS, e.g. the proposed Saturday average inflow to Chili Bar reservoir is about 825 cfs. Expect fluctuations in flow below Chili Bar, sometimes big ones. Note that magnitude and timing of releases from Chili Bar reservoir don't necessarily co-incide with inflow, and in fact often Chili Bar releases water 'today' that was stored 'yesterday'. Nevertheless, the Inflow column can be used to guess whether more than the minimum will be released. Note also that the above is what SMUD predicts, based on their calculations ... depending on all sorts of factors (such as weather), the values show in the Inflow column could be more, or less. However, barring emergencies, you can confidently count on at least the minimum flows below Chili Bar shown in the Release column, and confirmed on the scheduled release page.
