[env-trinity] Trinity River Release Update 5/2/11

[Krause, Andreas F]

Hello Everyone,

The flow release schedule for May 2, 2011 calls for releases to the Trinity River of 8,000 cfs. Independent flow measurements at the Lewiston stream gage taken this afternoon validated that the flow releases to the Trinity River are 8,000 cfs as scheduled.

The provisional real-time stream flows at the Lewiston stream gage were incorrectly being reported in excess of 10,000 cfs today. High flows often change the configuration of the river, which can lead to inaccurate real-time flow readings. For this reason, real-time stream flow data are always provisional and subject to change with validation flow measurements. The U.S. Geological Survey will continue making validation flow measurements this week throughout the remainder of the regularly scheduled high flow releases.
