Look at our water supplies

This is a picture of our water supply in Idaho as of September 24, 2007.

In case it's a bit hard to read, here are the numbers in the above chart:

Reservoirs
Lucky Peak: 30% full, capacity 264,400 acre feet
Arrowrock: 23% full, capacity 272,200 acre feet
Anderson Ranch: 18% full, capacity 413,100 acre feet
Cascade: 52% full, capacity 646,460 acre feet
Lake Lowell: 49% full, capacity 119,400 acre feet
Deadwood: 25% full, capacity 161,900 acre feet

The raging issue at the moment is control of water at the Lucky Peak reservoir, because that is the source for the water that flows in the Boise River during the winter.

A panel of experts is scheduled to speak on the topic tonight at the Garden City Hall. The program is sponsored by Idaho Rivers United and the Garden City Library.

I plan to be there.
