Watch those Crooked River flows

As I have recently been writing about, the Bureau of Reclamation has been warning of potentially needing to increase releases into the Crooked River from Prineville Reservoir in order to keep enough room in the reservoir to accommodate large inflows. Well, flows from snowmelt are happening now with the current rain on snow event. Above is the chart for the Crooked River coming into the reservoir. The releases from the dam have not been increased yet, but don’t be surprised if it happens.
