Danoinark Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will increase water released through the Bull Shoals Dam spillway gates to 60,000 cubic feet per second at 10 p.m. today, according to Tracy Fancher, Mountain Home Project Office superintendent. This increase will cause water levels in the White River to increase. The public needs to be aware of changes to take measures to protect life and property. Water releases were increased to 44,700 cfs on Tuesday and increased to 55,000 cfs earlier today. add the nearly 16k cfs through the genies and its nearly 80k cfs.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 26, 2011 Root Admin Posted May 26, 2011 Man that's alot of water. You may not recognize your river when it's all said and done. Lots of gravel will shift and banks will change. What does that do to places just below the dam- Gastons and others? They all seems to be pretty high off the water and they are on the inside bend.
vonreed Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Do you all know if the White River in Arkansas is higher now than in 08?
Danoinark Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 Phil, its beyond my conception of what it will do. I am sure this is all uncharted as to this happening before. Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Greasy B Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I wonder if this high water event will make people think twice about housing development along the river. I doubt it. It’s so sad to see the short sightedness of flood plain development. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 26, 2011 Root Admin Posted May 26, 2011 Just checked the BS level. It looks like it has crested. They shouldn't have to increase the flow.
gotmuddy Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Our friends at Riley station moved everything to high ground and so far have been doing fine. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
flytyer57 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Our friends at Riley station moved everything to high ground and so far have been doing fine. They are up pretty high. Hopefully the dock will be ok. That's a lot of water coming downstream. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
gotmuddy Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 They are up pretty high. Hopefully the dock will be ok. That's a lot of water coming downstream. yah, its amazing how much water the dock can take. they have already had a rough year business wise due to the economy and the weather. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
Wayne SW/MO Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 yah, its amazing how much water the dock can take. they have already had a rough year business wise due to the economy and the weather. I was wondering about them earlier. It was hard to believe the pictures from '08 indicating how high the water came. I don't recall them having any high ground so I assume you mean they have abandoned their home and rentals? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
