Winter water Level

[Stump bumper]

I see that the corps has tapered off the generation at 1120 feet full pool for summer. Winter level is usually between 1110 and 1115 and usually they pull it down around this time.

Does anyone know why they stopped?

I am guessing it is because of the rain events expected further south but since this could be held at Bull Shoals that is only my uneducated assumption.

They don't need the power right now.  It's an off peak part of the year, and Beaver is for peak electrical demands.  They will not try to sell power when there is not much market for it.  Winter power pool level is 1,120.43.  The Southwest Power Pool will try to hold it to no higher than that, but can go lower depending on power needs, all the way down to 1,077.0.
