As inflows continue to keep the Canyon Reservoir in the flood pool, GBRA, in coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), will adjust releases to a constant rate of 300 cubic feet per second (CFS), effective tomorrow, Thursday, August 6. Maintaining a steady release rate helps gradually lower the reservoir back toward its normal conservation pool while balancing downstream conditions. As water remains one of our most valuable resources, we encourage the continued practice of water conservation to ensure a reliable supply for our communities.
Reservoir operations will continue to be evaluated and adjusted as conditions warrant based on reservoir level, watershed inflows, weather forecasts, and downstream conditions. River conditions can change, currents may be stronger than expected, and water levels can fluctuate as reservoir operations continue. We strongly encourage water safety near these areas, wear a life jacket when appropriate, and be aware of changing conditions before any recreational activities.
