Frequently asked questions
Does having the dams upstream make the river predictable?
More predictable, not passive. Releases are managed and communicated, which is a real advantage over an unregulated river. But management means the level here reflects decisions made upstream about a whole system, so local weather explains even less of it than usual.
Why does March out-rain the summer months?
The heaviest rainfall here is frontal rather than convective, delivered steadily over hours. That timing is the difficult part: the peak coincides with minimum evaporation and dormant vegetation, so the ground retains far more of it than an equivalent July storm.
How does a narrow valley change what ordinary rain does?
It concentrates it. Water shedding off steep ground on both sides converges on the limited flat ground below, arriving quickly with little chance to infiltrate on the way down. Open terrain would disperse the same rainfall without incident.
