00:00.000 --> 00:01.910
(water rushing)

00:01.910 --> 00:04.202
- Even in a dry year things
can turn pretty quickly.

00:04.202 --> 00:06.869
(water roaring)

00:09.690 --> 00:12.205
We need to be sure that the kind

00:12.205 --> 00:14.012
of weather events that we see coming

00:14.012 --> 00:16.130
in we can see a long ways off.

00:16.130 --> 00:18.550
That we can manage the pool
back down before they hit.

00:18.550 --> 00:20.223
So it's a delicate dance.

00:23.090 --> 00:26.270
What we need is kinda
this gentle steady rain,

00:26.270 --> 00:29.263
or a number of bigger
rain events spread out

00:29.263 --> 00:31.310
throughout the course of this spring

00:31.310 --> 00:32.759
so we can top the reservoirs off

00:32.759 --> 00:35.544
without exposing ourselves to a whole lot

00:35.544 --> 00:38.718
of risk of flooding
downstream by overfilling.

00:38.718 --> 00:42.301
