Thread: Henderson

The Lake Pelba gauge says 10.73', and the gauge on the river over Butte LaRose says 7.07'. I guess I don't quite understand how this works, is the control structure closed on the south end?

River levels with structures at 9 ft anything above it will back up into Henderson!!

Run off from the rain. It will get worse once we get the snow melt from the North - much worse. Here's the gauge next to my driveway for the Vermillion:

I think these two gauges have different datum points so they don't read the same, but should follow the same pattern, unless Northern locks are open and river is below 9'.

I would agree slab!!

If river gets above 14 1/2 '......Hello Cow Island!!

Yes sir , it will get much higher I believe with spring rise
