Recent rain and snowmelt has contributed to considerable rises in flow in some of the creeks/streams/rivers, as well as reservoirs and lakes, in Arizona. This thread shows off changes that have occurred. Images from Sentinel-2 🛰️satellite from the European Space Agency. #azwx
The Lower Salt River, between Granite Reef Dam and Tempe Town Lake, has seen elevated flow since releases from Granite Reef Dam began back at the beginning of March. Gilbert and McKellips Roads remain closed due to the elevated flow. #azwx
With the Granite Reef Dam releases, Tempe Town Lake filled up with additional water. Water began spilling downstream from Tempe Town Lake back on on March 8th, leading to a few road closures. #azwx
You may have to look closely at the images, but Roosevelt Lake, east of Phoenix, has seen a considerable increase in level. According to @SRPconnect, lake level is currently at 94% capacity, compared to 73% a year ago. #azwx
One reservoir that has seen a considerable rise from a year ago is the San Carlos Reservoir, south of San Carlos and Peridot (Southeast from Globe). San Carlos Reservoir is dammed by Coolidge Dam, which releases into the Gila River. #azwx
