APCO has to release water for navigation purposes downstream and keep the river open to boat traffic. It also releases water to help cool the power plant at Gorgas. If it is a wet summer they don't have to release as much plus the lake stays more full from the rain.

If it is a dry summer as it has been the last five years or so then they have to release more... releasing more plus not having 'new' rain to keep filling the reservoir is why the level drops.

Last summer it was above 500 til about Labor Day... It dropped as far as 497 in November before the rains raised it up.

They year before it dropped below 500 about a month earlier and never did make it to full pool at all that year.
