As

typical operations, such as
when to draw down and refill
the reservoir, how to regulate
flows to reduce flood damages
and when and how to release
excess stored water after a
heavy rain. As such, it is
important to have accurate
and up to date information.
Water releases for irrigation

in this update.

Heppner from experiencing
