The Oroville Dam is the highest in the nation.
California politicians are so fortunate to have a media that won’t let them be held responsible for their indifference to the most basic of governmental responsiblities.

Police return stolen Purple Heart to Oroville Dam evacuee
The Sacramento Bee | Published: February 20, 2017
Vietnam veteran Mike Pomeroy thought his Purple Heart was gone forever after burglars took it when he evacuated his home last week due to the emergency at Oroville Dam.
On Sunday, Yuba City Police found and returned his medals. They also arrested two women and a man in connection with the burglary.
in the hour-by-hour data you see the figure you had because they are bringing it back up a foot while they lower the level of water going into the river below headed to Sacramento.
see the hour by hour instead of my daily chart on the previous page.

Godd grief- now there’s a ‘Scientific’ American article that glosses over the failure of the Oroville flood spillway to blame the dam’s emergency on... [man-made] climate change.

I don’t understand how the lake level is down to 848.99 when the inflows keep rising. Am I missing something?
Thanks WildHighlander57........
outflow is also being increased, depending on the tidal situation at the I St. gauge in Sacramento.
Heavy river flows have to be timed to hit Sac at low tide.
Sorry I can’t be specific, it was posted relative to the current California storm.

That’s the Psuedo-Scientific Anti-American for you.

Seems they’re holding Oroville input upstream.

Reservoirs feeding Lake Oroville are filled to brink as more rain rolls in
CHESTER
Lake Almanor is full. So is Antelope Lake.
In fact, all of the nine reservoirs in the Feather River watershed that feed directly into Lake Oroville are brimming with water from recent storms.
With more rain falling and another even heavier storm predicted for Monday and Tuesday, Plumas County officials are anxiously watching both the sky and the reservoirs above their communities.

High in the headwaters above the ranches of Indian Valley, Antelope Lake holds around 27,000 acre feet of water. Operated by the California Department of Water Resources, Antelope is part of the State Water Project. It flows into a series of streams before emptying into Lake Oroville, which provides drinking water to more than 23 million people.
Last week, when ranchers and residents were flooded out of their homes in the valleys below, Antelope operators released 2,362 acre feet of water over six days. The largest single release – 714 acre feet – came on Feb. 10, when flooding across Indian Valley swept a Taylorsville resident off a bridge and into the creek near Crescent Mills. He survived.
Goss has not been contacted by DWR officials, he said, and has no information about how the Antelope releases affected his district.
DWR officials were preoccupied with the situation at Oroville and unavailable for comment on how they manage Antelope Lake. “I don’t even know where that reservoir is,” said DWR spokesman Chris Orrock, preoccupied with the situation at Oroville, where nearly 200,000 people were briefly ordered to evacuate last week amid fears that the dam’s emergency spillway would fail.
Antelope is one of nine reservoirs that provide water to Lake Oroville. Three are managed by DWR; one is operated by the South Feather Water and Power Agency. The other five are owned and operated by Pacific Gas & Electric Co., producing electricity as part of the Feather River Stairway of Power.
The largest of these is Lake Almanor near Chester. It stores 1,142,000 acre feet, around one-third of the storage capacity of Lake Oroville.

Hmm... looks like we’re missing 10 days of data.
