They always aggressively dump water out of Folsom because it’s so small yet so vital to flood control for Sacramento. Last week they opened the floodgates at Oroville and New Bullards Bar. They’re dumping them as fast as they safely can because the snowmelt is going to be epic.

Trinity, by memory. Is another +/- 250k acre feet. It’s intentionally kept as low as it is. It’s designed to be the emergency brake of last resort to control flooding on The Sacramento River

Yeah, I think the Sacramento is going to be tough to control. Flooding in Sacramento (city)?

I should be in SF/NorCal when it’s likely to be going on.
