General Questions

• Q: Who do I contact with questions?
  A: MVP Water Control



• Q:How can inflows be negative?
  A: There are no gages measuring inflow. We have to calculate inflow. Inflow calculations use pool elevations and outflow to calculate the change in storage. In some cases the resulting calculated inflow is negative. Causes of calculated negative inflows can be evaporation and wind affected pool elevation measurements.



• Q: Where is the data?
  A: Reservoir Project Data, Lock and Dam Project Data, Real Time Data



• Q: Ordinary High Water Lines
  A: For information on ordinary high water lines contact the DNR.
     Minnesota    North Dakota    Wisconsin    Iowa



• Q: Flood Stages
  A: For flood stage information and current flood forecasts go to the National Weather Service Website.
