It's scheduled to start at 10:00 am tomorrow. I plan on going down and taking some pics of it.

The reported cost of this "experiment" is at $8 million in lost revenue due to the fact the water through the bypass tubes doesn't generate electricity. It's also been reported that the US Fish and Wildlife Department is against this because the "flush" that is expected to help the endangered species of fish actually washing the fingerlings downriver and they die, thereby negating the main purpose of the flush.

It's all smoke and mirrors to make the enviroweenies happy.

Went way, way, up river after the release in '96. The river was fantastic, water deep, beaches fresh, no debris, etc etc

There will be a short term rise in the level of Lake Mead. Overall, it means nothing as far as level increases downstream due to the fact that the total amount released over the year will not change. They will just lower the releases at a later date to compensate for the discharge.

Here's the part I don’t get:

Before the dam when there were floods millions of tons of sediment moved through the canyon and down river making new beaches, carrying nutrients etc..... The flood today seems more harmful or at least fruitless as it is a just a big fresh water scouring of the canyon.

Powell is above the Grand Canyon
