Beaver To Drop Starting Thursday?

[Quillback]

I heard on the news last night that they are going to start drawing Beaver down on Thursday. Checking the graph, it looks like it's on it's way down now. I would think that with this hot, dry weather and the increased demand for power generation to run all those air conditioners, you would think they would want to just draw enough water to run the generators, and keep some in reserve just in case the hot dry spell runs all summer. But I guess the Corps has reasons for what they do.

It has been in the flood pool way too long IMO, if they draw down to 1120 ft that is 4ft that leaves them 33ft to draw from all summer. So they could pull hard all of July and August and not reach the bottom of the power pool.

They have been trying to move water for over a year and since they room to do it seems time to do it and I would love to see it down to 1115 again but I will live with getting the lake out of the woods.
