So, although it is an indicator, I am not sure how that marker corresponds with what the people at the state level are thinking.

I also suggested that they increase the outflow at night and slow it down during the day to decrease the current in the Weirs Channel while people are navigating through there. It is my feeling that it is a safety issue. He said that was not possible since they don't work nights so it has to remain where the leave it when they go home.

Last year the substantial current in the channel did not slow until mid July. This year it has not been nearly as bad.
So they cannot raise it in the morning when they arrive for work and lower it in the evening when they go home? I do not understand why that is impossible.
