My home water is a huge natural lake that has not been full for 4 years. To give an idea of the size of it, they have been dumping one million gallons per hour for 120 hours and the have not effected the water level at all!

They need a bigger hose.
So is your lake currently full?
How many acres?

It’s likely the unseen water table also has to soak up the water as it begins to fill.
Of course it depends on the soil surrounding the lake.

Putting water in spots to make them rise or even stay full is tricky business. Mother Nature is super competitive.
43,743 acres, yes, it went past full and just past moniter stage.Quote:

Ok , now I’m confused. It feels like math class in the 7th grade Lol.
First you posted the lake had not been full in 4 years and they are pumping a mega load of water with no rise , then you posted its full ?
Which is it ?

It is now past full for the first time in 4 years during which time a near record low was recorded. The lake is unique in some ways as it is a natural lake, but a dam was built on the only outgoing creek. The water is used for agriculture downstream if certain conditions are met with. Also if potential flooding is imminent the outlet is opened to try to control the level. it has been open for 5 days, 6 now,and has been unable to lower the level. The inflow creeks flow had been dropping dramatically before this rain. A major problem is that once the lake goes to flood stage it stays for weeks.

Sorry about my poor writing skills, just amazed by the miracle of the drought ending amount of water God has given us and now people here are justified in worry of flooding shoreline properties and infrastructure.Quote:
