Watching water rise at Oroville Dam

Regular Oroville Dam watcher K.M. has sent important updates on the water level at the dam.

We left off in the recent comments on this post: Watching California’s Stressed Dams

He says –
The Oroville situation has already gone crazy. California DWR is trying make this mess look normal by attempting to make events the defy logic look planned.

1-22

The reservoir elevation is increasing primarily because the inflow is very high and outflow is extremely low. Other CAM’s are still down.

01.22.24 0800
Current Lake Oroville Reservoir Elevation=830.68 Feet
Current Lake Oroville Reservoir Water Storage=2,557,384 AF
Current Oroville Dam Outflow=34 CFS
Current Lake Oroville Reservoir Inflow=28,230 CFS
Current River Releases from Lake Oroville=1,766 CFS

And … he says at night the outflow is only a fraction of the inflow.

Watching the giagundous snow pack north of Oroville Dam

The Watchers –
Sierra snowpack jumps from 19 to 98 percent in just 7 days, U.S.

“Snowpack over the Sierra has increased dramatically in just 7 days after a series of storms affected the region last week. The sudden change gives California its wettest start to the Water Year (October 1 – September 30) in more than 40 years. A new series of Pacific storms will bring periods of heavy low elevation rain and mountain snow to much of the western U.S. through the Christmas weekend. Isolated urban and small stream flooding impacts will be possible along the immediate West Coast and into portions of the Central Valley in California this week.” . . .  (more)

Back to Oroville Dam – How can dry weather produce erosion?

Sent in –
If it hasn’t rained in Oroville in awhile, what’s causing these erosion marks? I guess their plans of prettying the place up and covering all the cracks and water leaks has failed!

The erosion wasn’t present on 06.29.
