The corps of engineers is releasing 17000 CFS through the dam at this time. What this means is increased current, in comparison four generators is like 12,500 CFS.  We will have this for ever how long it takes Table Rock to get back to pool of 917 (919.47 last posted leverl prior to spillway release)

There’s lots of things that come into play here, we didn’t get as much rain as anticipated, but due to the low Oxygenated levels coming out of Table Rock, 4 generators have only been able to operate at 60%. Too much low oxygen water coming into Taneycomo and you know what will happen. So it hinders the Corps ability to draw the lake down as quick as it would in like May or June. Spillway water has lots of oxygen in it (and hopefully Shad too !)

Anyway, for whatever reason, that’s what we have to deal with for at least a couple of days… I will post more when I get it…….
