The water in the River is really low. Â I don’t know if this is what they lowered it for, or if they are just taking advantage of it to dredge a channel for the stream runoff.
The water should be up to at least the log at the top of the photo. Â This is where Coulter Falls is…a six foot waterfall that no one has seen in 100 years or so. Â First the dam backed the water up over it, and then it silted in!
Here is the perpetual silt bar in front of Rainbow Dam. Â This is part/all of the reason they built the new powerhouse and water channel a few years ago.
