More on Water Releases
Water releases are managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The schedule of releases is based on input from various organizations, including Ohio DNR.
All water releases are tentative. Final approval depends on weather conditions and water conditions at the time of the scheduled release. During periods of minimal rainfall and/or low stream flow, the Corps may not be able to honor a scheduled release.
At least 5 days prior to a scheduled release, the organization(s) that requested the release will be contacted to confirm their activity. If they still request a release, the Corps of Engineers will determine whether or not hydrologic conditions are conducive to a release.
One or two days prior to a scheduled release, the Corps of Engineers will decide if the release will occur. If a release is cancelled, their decision will be posted on this web site. |
