Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 11, 2022 Root Admin Posted June 11, 2022 All the gauges I see for Beaver are wacky... what is the real elevation right now?
Quillback Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Looks like it is fixed even though the message says they are still having issues. I'd say the 1128 number they have is correct. Beaver Lake (army.mil)
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 11, 2022 Author Root Admin Posted June 11, 2022 Wow last time I saw a real level it was down to 1122. It's come up. This last rain missed us. It was close. https://www.iweathernet.com/total-rainfall-map-24-hours-to-72-hours
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 11, 2022 Author Root Admin Posted June 11, 2022 But all that goes into the Arkansas River which affects release from Bull Shoals...

Quillback Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Well the Newport gauge is right above 14 feet so they can let water out of Bull and they can also let some out of TR to drain into Bull. Last year the Corps said they were planning to keep Beaver at no more than 1120 because even though they say the dam is fine, they don't want the extra pressure of high water on it. So...I would guess once they get more water out of TR and Bull they'll start letting it out of Beaver. Looks like no significant rain in the forecast so maybe they can get the lake levels down.
