Just read about that recently.Are we still having to release water from reservoirs?
reservoirs can only hold so much water, they have to release water to avoid overflowing which almost always damages and compromises the dam itself. take a look at the Oroville shit show from 2017.Just read about that recently.
Seems like a counter-intuitive thing to do in a time of nation crippling drought.

Except they do it when the dams are at maybe 50%.Better that than dams overflowing.
Weren't they all above 70% at one point and then they release them down because they anticipate warm rain to melt a lot of snowExcept they do it when the dams are at maybe 50%.
Always reminds me of the movie Chinatown.
