Gates and Flooding

Brian,

To underscore your point in the last blog post, we are currently experiencing 8,230 cubic feet per second (CFS) of water passing over our dam at Indianford. Normal for August 2 is 643 CFS.

It’s happening because we had a much wetter July than usual, and then we were slammed by 6” or more of rain over a gigantic area.

The Rock river drains a third of Southeastern Wisconsin and every drop of rain eventually comes past our dam.
