There is little or no flow being let out of the Merrymeeting dam into the river. Yet Merrymeeting is dropping fast.
As stated, it is due to the combination of lack of rain, and therefore lack of brooks, streams, and springs coming in, and evaporation. You only need to go walking in the hills to see how dry the streams are.
And if the Merrymeeting River isn't flowing into Winni, along with many of the others, the level will drop.
We have been below average rain for 3 months now. More, extended, rain is the answer. But I'm hoping not yet... I start vacation on Friday!
