flow is super light

 

Thx!   Any pictures of the rebar area?

The flow WAS significant ~right at the bank even~

and the fish WERE mostly pointing upstream!

 

Checking just now - its back to 0 cfs.

The White River minimum flow is 629 cfs. 

So, is that just below bull shoals dam and the 20 cfs is minimum out of table rock? I can remember doing the dam tour as a kid, and I recall the guide saying and showing us a seperate small generator for the minimum flow requirement. I believe it had it's own penstock and the electricity generated helped power dam operations.

The tour guide showed you the in-house unit - the 1 of 2 in house small

turbines that power the lights of the dam itself.

Pretty sure the 20cfs for Taneycomo when the units are off is counting the water released by that in house unit.

also take into consideration the spill out from the hatchery outflows - they don't count that

Were people wading out to rebar on that 1750 flow?
