Water levels

Ride & Dive · 03-17-2013, 07:35 PM

So the latest "Boating" magazine ran an editorial about the trend in declining water levels across the US. I know last year we were a bit down on the lake but what are the thoughts for this year?

We still have a lot of snow to melt off and run off, and more to come tomorrow.

With a slow meltoff, our NH Dam experts should have a reasonably easy time of managing the lake level to everyone's overall satisfaction.

Here is a link to the DES page for fooling the level.

Also for your info, if you never bothered to figure it out, .083 equals 1 inch change in the data. So, if the lake drops from 503.30 to 503.22, the lake has dropped about an inch. Handy to know when you have to go under a low bridge to get out to the lake.
