Lake and Flow News - Latest E-mail Message

Lake Ouachita has dropped down out of the flood pool and the Corps has reduced
the release from Blakely to about 2,700 CFS. This flow is being matched by
Carpenter and Remmel plus about 1,300 CFS or so as needed to pass the recent
rain runoff and slowly lower the lakes. Once the drawdown is completed
sometime this weekend, the flow releases from Carpenter and Remmel will be set
to match the release from Blakely at around 2,700 CFS. There may be some short
flow release reductions on Wednesday and Thursday of this week to allow some
survey work to be done on the dams during the day.
Lake DeGray is also out of the flood pool and the Corps is releasing about
2600 CFS from DeGray twice a day from 6 to 10 AM and PM.
