Releases from Davis and Parker dams will vary from about 4,500
cubic feet per second (cfs) to 19,000 cfs during a 24-hour
period. River levels will vary during the 24-hour periods 
with the higher levels coinciding with periods of peak
hydroelectric power generation.  Levels below the dams are
usually highest during the afternoon and early evening.
Average daily releases may vary in response to changing
conditions.

Average daily releases and midnight lake elevations for the week,
as well as anticipated averages for the following 2 weeks, are
scheduled as follows:

Current Lake Powell storage is 17,514 thousand acre-feet (KAF)
(72 percent of capacity).
Lake Mead storage is 13,094 KAF (51 percent of capacity).
Total system storage is 38,635 KAF (65 percent of capacity).
Lake Powell elevation is 3,652.38 feet.

Yesterday, the average Colorado River flows were 488 cfs near the
Yuma Fourth Avenue Bridge and 727 cfs at the Northerly
International Boundary.  The average release from Painted Rock Dam
was 0 cfs and Alamo Dam was 37 cfs.  The Morelos Dam diversions for
the week of 10-Oct-2011 are expected to be 730 cfs. 

ALL RIVER USERS should remember that fluctuating river flows may
conceal or create natural hazards such as moving sandbars, gravel
bars, unstable riverbanks, floating or submerged debris, or other
unfamiliar obstacles.

Caution should be exercised while using the river between
Davis Dam and the Mexican Border at San Luis, Arizona.
