Reservoir Monitoring Update

By June 18, 2020

TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day.  Currently, none of the TRWD reservoirs are making a flood discharge.  Additional updates to flood discharges will be posted here.

After a dry few weeks, rainfall has returned to the upcoming forecast, see National Weather Service (NWS) guidance in Graphic-1.  With the TRWD reservoirs at or near full, staff will be watching this rainfall for potential impacts.  Please continue to follow the NWS and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.

Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions.  This will be the last Reservoir Monitoring Update for this event until conditions dictate otherwise.
