The cooler temps of the past few days have slowed stream flows over all of the Nevada creek area.\u00a0 The sunny and warmer weather forecast for the following week should cause flows to increase again, or at least stabilize.\u00a0 The remaining snowpack on Nevada Ridge has settled to a density of a 43% ratio between water content and snow depth.\u00a0 This density combined with warmer temps should begin a more rapid runoff from that higher elevation.<\/p>\n
Reservoir Storage & Contract Water<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Current Reservoir Measurements<\/a> have storage for Nevada Creek Reservoir at 84% of capacity with 9,394 acre feet of water.\u00a0 At this level, we could only allot ~85% of total contract delivery.\u00a0 But, at current flow averages we are projected to obtain full capacity around May 9th or 10th.\u00a0 At full capacity, or close to it, we could then comfortably allot the full 100% of total contract delivery from the start of irrigation.\u00a0 Therefore, it would be advantageous for contract water users if we could restrict discharging from the reservoir until May 9th.<\/p>\n Water Users are invited to contact me, or one of the Board of Directors, with any comments or requests about when you would want to begin contract water delivery.\u00a0 There will be a Directors meeting this following Tuesday, May 3rd.\u00a0 A definite start date will be determined at that time.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The cooler temps of the past few days have slowed stream flows over all of the Nevada creek area.\u00a0 The sunny and warmer weather forecast for the following week should cause flows to increase again, or at least stabilize.\u00a0 The remaining snowpack on Nevada Ridge has settled to a density of a 43% ratio between… Read More »Water Update 4-29-16<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-update"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=449"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":452,"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449\/revisions\/452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nevadacreek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
