Are you saying the Smith Lake is dropped to 496 starting in June for flood control from winter rains? If that is the basis for the drop from 510 to 496, why start in June - Start in November.

I'm sorry but this reasoning is not supported by any data. Lake level changes in the summer months are deliberate by APC to support cooling requirements at Gorgas. Flood control is not the reason for dropping the level to 496.
