Afternoon Potomac flow and demand update (Friday 09/10/2010)
The Jennings Randolph water supply release, which started at 8:30 AM today (September 10), is currently visible at the USGS stream gage in Luke, MD. The USGS did a rating curve adjustment that resulted in an increase of 71 MGD (110 cfs) at Point of Rocks from this morning's reading. We are watching for the arrival of the Little Seneca release at Little Falls. Past tests have indicated that the time of travel is approximately 29 hours, which would imply the arrival to be at 1:00 PM.
