Reductions to continue
As anticipated, Reclamation will continue to decrease releases to the river over the next few days.
At 4pm today, releases will drop from 8,900cfs to 7,900cfs.
At 8am on Friday, releases will drop from 7,900cfs to 6,900cfs
At 8am on Saturday, releases will drop from 6,900cfs to 6,220cfs
When questioned as to the reason for the morning cuts rather than the preferred afternoon cuts, Reclamation stated the reason for the morning cuts on Fri and Sat are because the dam operators (who work a 4 day week and are off on Fridays) need to be called in special to effect the changes, and it is more convenient for them to make those changes in the morning.
