Basin Update Nov. 19
System storage is 58.6 MAF; 2.5 MAF of the 16.3 MAF of flood control storage is occupied. About 15% of the flood control storage remains to be evacuated over the next 3 weeks and the winter. Gavins Point releases are currently 80,000 cfs, and are expected to remain at that level until the weekend, when the drawdown to the winter release rate begins. The drawdown schedule is shown in the bottom right quadrant. Basin and river conditions will continue to be monitored, and System regulation will be adjusted as necessary.
