Members bgault Posted August 28, 2017 Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 I graduated a number of years ago (more than I'm willing to admit) with a B.S. in mathematics so I'm a bit embarrassed that I have to ask what does zero mean? The past three mornings I've checked the SPA generation schedule for Taneycomo and it showed what used to be the symbol for zero (looks like "0") for generation up to just about lunch time each day. So I loaded up and headed over to below the dam only to find the water running? "0" used to mean nada, nein, zip, zilch, nothing ... but apparently not anymore? When I was last down in July zero meant NO WATER RUNNING. So what has changed? Has the SPA changed to common core math? Do I need to ask my granddaughter what zero now means? Did the eclipse strangely change something? Did I miss getting a secret decoder ring? Is there some formula that involves the date, time of day, zodiac sign, etc.? I just checked tomorrow's schedule and there is that zero symbol again "0" ... can someone please let me know what it means? How much water will be running in the morning? Do I dare make another run over to the dam with my fly rod and waders only to be disappointed for the fourth day in a row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagged in outlet 3 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Do you have the APP from USACE Little Rock District. It also has near real time generation. Generally updated hourly. grizwilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillback Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 If I am reading this chart correctly (maybe not), it looks like for tomorrow the zero generation is from 9 PM to 12 AM. http://www.swpa.gov/gen/wed.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have them and use them ... but they are updated about 20 min or so after the top of the hour ... so for example when I checked this morning before leaving at about 6:45 it showed "0" for 6:00AM ... when I got to the dam a little after 7:00 the water was running ...

snagged in outlet 3 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I think Phil has explained this before. The predicted generation is for power but the Corp can run water whenever. I quit bothering to try to predict what the heck they'll do. Gave me anger management issues Greasy B and JestersHK 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laker67 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 When you figure out how to predict the run schedule, pick out 6 numbers between 1 and 69 and let me know what they are. snagged in outlet 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
