SRP plans to release water from the Horseshoe Dam spillway into the Verde River to Bartlett Lake beginning approximately at 9:00 am Monday, March 23, 2026, at a rate of approximately 2,000 cubic feet per second. The release is expected to continue for about 2 weeks, and Bartlett Lake will rise between 1 to 2 feet per day during this period. Do not park or camp next to the water and pay attention to lake level changes.

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.
