The water supply forecasts did not change much this week. Impacts to the lower river fishery and electricity production from reduced project outflows mid-June to mid-July will be offset in the last half of July and August with the shift of water volume in the lower river.
SKQ project outflows and the Flathead Lake elevation are dependent on many variables including lake inflows, weather, the demand for electricity, and non-power constraints such as the downstream fishery and flood risk management needs.

Project outflows are still below the usual minimum in-stream flow requirement. The reduction is impactful to the lower river fishery and electricity production. Both impacts will be offset in the last half of July and August with the shift of water volume in the lower river.

Project outflows are still far below the usual minimum in-stream flow requirement. The reduction is impactful to the lower river fishery and electricity production. Both impacts will be offset in the last half of July and August with the shift of water volume in the lower river.
