White
River System Lake Update
LITTLE
ROCK, Ark., April 18 – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would like
to remind everyone that extreme heavy rains throughout March and
April have left the upper White River system lakes with almost no
capacity for additional flood storage. Beaver, Table Rock, Bull
Shoals, Norfork and Greers Ferry Lakes are currently at or near
the top of spillway gates. This means any significant additional
rainfall will have to be passed directly through those gates, greatly
diminishing the project's ability to reduce flood damages. More

Rain Could Cause Higher Than Normal Releases For White River Dams
LITTLE
ROCK, Ark., Apr 2 – Recent rain, coupled with heavy rains in the
forecast for Thursday, could cause the Army Corps of Engineers to
begin making larger than normal releases from four of the six lakes
the agency operates in the White River Basin. More

visiting park areas should be aware that certain areas may be closed
to the public for their safety and protection. More
