    Default Big 4 spillway graphs?


    I'm looking for graphs of the spillways outflow on Sardis, Enid, and Granada. I found the following link on here but it only has instantaneous readings of current flows and lake level. MVK Reservoir Report

    I looking for something like the usgs post with discharge date and flow rates. Here is one from the rez spillway with graphs. USGS Current Conditions for USGS 02486000 PEARL RIVER AT JACKSON, MS

    I've heard people refer to the discharge rate measured in feet the gates are open. Is there a place you can see that info online?

    Thanks

    Yes. It shows the lake level but not the flow rate into the spillway. Am i missing something?

    It shows “inflow” which is the river feeding it. “Gate flow” is the cfs coming out of the spillway. They are all closed so it’s 0.

    Yeah i saw the instantaneous flow rate. So is completely closing the gates normal? It seems it would stop the flow of the rivers they feed. Granted, we have had lots of rain so runoff will support the rivers for now but is there no minimum flow that must be maintained?
