Rivers are Running!! Fill them lakes up

Recommended Posts

Went to Lake Mary spillway today for a class project, Lower Mary is completely full, bank to bank, and more still flowing in. Good for recharging the aquifer around Flag. I wonder how long the water will hang around for. Lower Lake has a porous limestone bedrock.

I heard they are supposed to stock lower lake Mary today with trout.

Great, up close look of Bartlett Dam and water levels.

 

Enjoyed the video, I've never been to Bartlett so it was interesting the last section of the video talking about restructuring the dam to hold more water. Enough for another 350,00 homes.........crazy to think about all the water necessary to maintain the valley sprawl.

I bet the residents of Rio Verde have their eyes on that.

Any idea if the lakes up on Anderson Mesa are filling?

Shot alot of ducks and geese up there back in the day.

What’s really crazy is we use less water now than an in the 1950s
