All I can say life can be tuff at times . Chicken one day and feathers the next.
We all will have to play the hand the good Lord has laid out for us.

Think of it this way... COE lakes...such as Whitney...are flood control lakes. That is their primary purpose. The COE will release back to conservation pool as soon as downstream conditions allow.
In the case of Grandbury, the Brazos River Authority Authority's released below pool because of the situation that was likely, and subsequently has developed. The much larger PK needs to release.

I know there main purpose is to prevent flooding. That's pretty much the sole reason I started this thread. To discuss preventing potential flooding.
I guess my next question is why is it so crucial to keep pk below conservation pool?

And the plot is still in effect looks like.
From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!

And the plot is still in effect looks like. It's called "controlled release". Neither lake is coming down very much with all the water they are releasing. In fact PK is still rising........ COE says Whitney is going to hold the water until they can release in a safe manner. There are people that live on the Brazos below Whitney. (WACO) You can't just turn all the water loose at once .... No-one is releasing water to drain anything..... I don't think anyone downstream needs any more water.
