Water Water...who needs water?

Too bad we can't ship some of this excess to you guys experiencing a drought.

They had five gates open for about a week, yesterday they opened the other five. The local paper said with five gates open the flow was 20,000 cubic feet of water PER SECOND. I assume with ten gates open, that figure doubled or more?




The fenced area (through the trees) is where I occasionally play tennis but the real problem is the homeowners (background) where they have from two to six feet of water inside! Not pleasant.

You got nothing on us, the Corp opened Norfork at 83,000 cfs (the volume of an olympic swimming pool?).
Bull Shoals was opened at noon today, your water goes into it.

Used to live in the Ozarks. Miss the woods and trees and water...

Send that extra water to Nevada and Arizona. We will take every drop you do not need!
