The numbers as of 3/10/16
(Water is represented in Acre-Feet)
Current level is 4.8% – 16,130
To Go to Swim at Lynch – 50,870
Increase since 1/24/16 – 5,775
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.
