Waiting till the end of season I wanted to find and compare some data in regards to Full Gate drop and how it affects the lake level.
Monday October 30 at 11 pm the gate was lowered to max. The reading was 32 inches at Spillway .
Tuesday, 31
Wednesday, 30
Thursday, 29
Friday at 7pm , 28
The level dropped 1 inch a day using only the main blade to full drop,
This data will be used for lowering of the lake for weed treatment , we did keep track in the spring (weed lowering of 2 inches) and it was very similar .
Friday(11-3) at 7 Pm The lower blade was fully pulled up and the water is flowing about 24 inches over the base of the Spillway floor . The water level reading in the Spillway dropped 4 inches instantly because of the flow over the dam.
In 24 hours I will take a reading then pull up the side boards up .
I attached an excel file of the full year of data from June 1st to Nov 1st
I highlighted some of the data for highest water temperature and lake level reading . We held within a Inch but really noticed a spring feed drop off in the summer of mid July.
This was super helpful! Thanks Joe!
Thanks
