This year we got a rise from 480 to almost 486 in about 7 days.

Next year with a base elevation of 483,  what is the guess that a similar rain event will take us to.

I wonder if in the tems of Acre/Feet of water where the same event will take us from 483. 

It seems to make sense that the higher the lake level the more Acre/Feet of water each foot of rise holds, but I don't have any idea if the difference is significant.

I just don't know if there is that much difference in Acre/Feet volume for the top foot at different elevetions. I assume that AP knows exactly how many gallons go through the Dam at each elevation, but I have never seen the numbers. Does anyone know for sure?

It would also be nice to know what an inch of rain in the area translates to as far as elevation in the lake.  (i.e. 1" = X Acre Feet)
