To Go to Swim at Lynch – 50,870

Increase this week – 4,406

Days until Wildflower – 51

Average increase in acre feet required per day to meet 20% by race day – 997.45 (yeah, good luck with that)

Next rainfall forecast -3/11/2016

There was significant rainfall this week  -2.05 inches. Even on days when it has not rained, the rate of increase has gone up substantially as the upstream watershed drains into the Lake. While we probably won’t get Lynch this year, it’s a great thing that the losses due to the diversion to Nacimiento are being redressed.
