American River

[Frank Alessio]

Ok Guys here is a serious question..... Today on the CDEC web site for Folsom Lake. Inflow=2023 cfs Outflow 4065 cfs American River at Fair Oaks 1000 cfs.... Lake Natoma is a kind of buffer zone with minimal flucuations.... So where did the MISSING 3065 cfs go?????

Hmmm,.... I dunno. :? :? Could EBMUD be drawing water from Lake Natoma :?: :?: :?: The canal starts at the south end of the dam.... :? :? :? I guess it could be an error.... :? :? :?

Very interesting.......there is a big canal that is always full of water south of Lake Natomas.
