Water Availabiltiy at Clear Lake Surpasses 2009 Levels
February 2 , 2010
On February 1, the level of Clear Lake was 4.54 feet RG (Rumsey Gauge) which translates to over 36,000 acre-feet of available water. Last year Clear Lake topped out at 4.17 feet RG. However, water from Clear Lake is released gradually over the summer months according to the Solano Decree. Indian Valley Reservoir was at 1390.63 ft MSL (Mean Sea Level) yesterday, compared with a high point of 1394.98 feet MSL last year.
