SRP plans to release water from Horseshoe Dam spillway into the Verde River to Bartlett lake beginning at approximately 8:00 a.m. Friday, October 23, at a rate of about 2,000 cfs. Forecasted storm activity may result in additional inflows to Horseshoe Lake and could alter both rising water levels and the duration of the release. Bartlett Lake levels are expected to rise during this period. Do not park or camp near the water and stay aware of changing lake and river conditions.

Glossary

Elevation: "Remaining" refers to how many feet the water is below the maximum conservation storage level.

Runoff: Refers to water produced from the watershed from rain and snowmelt.

Reservoir release: Refers to the amount of water being released from the reservoirs.

Diversions: Canals to which the water is diverted at Granite Reef Diversion Dam once it is released from the reservoirs to satisfy water demand in the Valley.
