MSL (Mean Sea Level): The average height of the ocean’s surface, used as a standard reference point for measuring elevation.
Full Pool: The desired operating level of the lake, providing optimal conditions for recreational activities.
Winter Pool: A lower level maintained during winter months to accommodate increased rainfall and runoff in the spring, minimizing flood risk.
Flood Pool: The maximum level the lake can reach before flooding occurs.
Lake Level Graph
[Insert a simple graph or chart depicting recent lake level fluctuations. The graph should clearly show the current level in relation to full pool, winter pool, and flood pool. The x-axis should represent time, and the y-axis should represent lake level (feet MSL). Link to a page with a larger, interactive graph if available.]
Impact on Activities
The current lake level is [Suitable/Marginally Suitable/Unsuitable] for most recreational activities. [Expand on the implications of the current level. For example: “Boaters should exercise caution due to potentially exposed hazards near the shoreline. Fishing conditions may be favorable in deeper channels.”] Drought conditions [are/are not] currently impacting the lake level.
Historical Data and Trends
Historical lake level data provides valuable context for understanding current conditions and predicting future trends. Analyzing past fluctuations can help identify patterns related to seasonal changes, rainfall, and water management practices.
[Link to historical data page on USACE or other reputable source] Some research suggests that climate change may be influencing long-term lake level trends, though further study is needed to understand the full extent of these impacts.
About Greers Ferry Lake Level Management
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District, manages Greers Ferry Lake’s water levels. This involves carefully regulating the flow of water through the Greers Ferry Dam, balancing the needs of various stakeholders, including:
Hydropower Generation: The dam generates electricity, and the lake level influences the efficiency of this process.
Flood Control: Managing the lake level helps mitigate flood risks downstream.
Recreation: Maintaining suitable water levels supports boating, fishing, and other recreational activities.
Environment: The lake level impacts the health of the lake’s ecosystem.
The Corps considers various factors when determining lake level adjustments, including rainfall, inflow from tributaries, evaporation rates, downstream water demands, and seasonal variations.
