The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District provided a lake update on Thursday
(Brookville, Ind.) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is closely monitoring Brookville Lake following significant rainfall across that fell this week.
According to the Corps, Brookville Lake still has available flood storage capacity, and the dam is operating as designed. There are currently no dam safety concerns.
As of Thursday morning, Brookville Lake's elevation was 757.52 feet. The pool is estimated to peak around 761 feet based on rainfall that has already occurred and potentially increasing outflows over the weekend.
The additional 1-1.75 inches of rainfall forecasted across the watershed from today through Sunday could impact ability to increase outflows and the estimated peak elevation.
USACE will maintain releases of approximately 100 cubic feet per second (cfs) while downstream river levels remain elevated. Based on current NOAA forecasts, the river downstream of the dam is expected to fall today. Once conditions allow, USACE will increase releases.
