Chasing the Target Baseflow
• Base releases remained at 500 cfs until June 24th
• Tributary inflow + Navajo Releases keep the river within Target Base Flow range
• Increased release to 850 cfs on June 24th, up to 1100 cfs on July 16th
• Release returned to 500 cfs on October 19th, and should remain unchanged until next spring
