I suppose they can maybe reduce outflows earlier than normal so they have longer to fill it up? In the fall they would normally lose a lot of the rainafll because they would still be dropping the water levels (i.e., they would need to let out reserved water plus additional flow from rainfall). It seems to me though that even under the current flow rule they could start to refill at least to 480.0 (normal winter pool) right now if they have sufficient rainfall.

Again, maybe the key is starting earlier and going longer at full pool but it doesn't seem to make complete sense to me either. Regardless of the rule they use they will still need enough rainfall. I really hope they get the approval because if they had that 3' last year it would have extended my boating season by at least a month.
