The Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are again increasing flows from Lucky Peak Dam because of above-normal winter precipitation in the Boise River drainage. Beginning March 6, flows through the City of Boise will increase incrementally 250 cubic feet per second per day to reach approximately 7,000 cfs, which is flood stage, on Tuesday, March 7. These releases are necessary to help reduce the risk of increased flooding later in the spring, which can happen with rapidly melting snow and seasonal precipitation.
