What info are you looking at suggesting the lake level is starting to drop? The hourly DES data has the lake still slowly rising even without rain (https://www4.des.state.nh.us/rti_data/WEIN3_TABLE.HTML).

I agree it’s not normal for the dam to be at minimum output this time of year. But keeping the dam at minimum output will offset quite a bit of below-normal dryness.

I don’t think we’re in a once-in-many year situation where folks need to be so worried in early April. And it’s not like worrying is going to change anything.
