DWR releases reports for implementation of Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations at Lake Oroville and New Bullards Bar
The California Department of Water Resources Thursday released a report that shows a change to reservoir operations at both Lake Oroville and New Bullards Bar Reservoir can further reduce flood risks for communities along the Feather River and Yuba River during extreme atmospheric storm events and potentially benefit water supply during drier periods. The DWR says that this approach, known as the Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations, or FIRO for short, uses improved monitoring, weather, and runoff projections.
