Full summer pool

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Full summer pool is the term used to describe the water level of a reservoir at normal operating conditions. During droughts or water shortages, the water level can drop below full summer pool. Additionally, water levels may be lowered during the winter below full summer pool to accommodate snowmelt or seasonally heavy rains. During periods of heavy rain, the water level in the reservoir may rise above full summer pool to prevent flooding downstream.

"Full pool" is often used interchangeably with "full summer pool."
