Water Height On Generation

[tsfinest]

Help for a novice water generation schedule reader.

Looking at the water generation schedule, Ive seen it say "1" or "2". Being there when it's a "2" I know that the water can get pretty high, high enough to flood that side stream at Watts. Does anyone know how high it gets on a "1"? Can you still wade fish in the watts area at that level?

Thanks

I should note that I was reading from this website http://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/power/hyd...er.html#Day%200 and that 1 and 2 are the number of units being released. Looks like 2 is the max. The other generation schedule listed at the top of this form lists it in megawatts, so Im guessing 40 is 2 units and 20 megawatts is one unit...

For just a point of reference. I was down at the Simm Watts area on Saturday. I got there about 5 pm. The water was definitely too high to wade and it was real swift. I looked at the schedule for that time period and it said a "1". After I was there for about an hour, the water started dropping, from the chart, they shut it down. Hope this helps.

Use this link and you can see the generation levels hour by hour in the past 24 hours. Screw that chart you're looking at.
