March 2016 Lake Levels and Discharge

A deep drawdown for the lake in March sees a return to average levels by month's end.  This drawdown did a lot to improve the clarity of the water after December's flooding.  I expect levels to remain around 656' or so until early May.

The low of 652.86' on March 9 will likely be the lowest level of the year.
