"If the rule curve acknowledges 142 feet, here it is equal to permitted Full Reservoir Level (FRL) at the end of the season.
But if you blindly follow it, you will be forced to throw all the water downstream in case it rains."

So prudence is required when there is cyclonic circulation prevailing and heavy rainfall alerts are around.
One should never store upto FRL.
I had to fight to sell this important point on operational safery to many of peers too!

People are got confused with structural safety, hydrological safety and operational safety.
Your dam may be safe for 142 ft FRL, but if you plan to store water to the brim, you left with zero flexibility.
You are comprising the operational safety!

Also understand the philosophy & logic behind the rule curves.
They are not rigid lines, they are flexibile, an experienced reservoir manager should weigh the same with the prevailing weather.
When we take maximilist postures due to political compulsions, reason take backseat
