USBR Continues to Defers Water Release Down the Santa Ynez River 

From USBR: The Lake level has risen about 1.4 feet since the January 21, 2023, going from an elevation of 750.40 feet to 751.74 feet. Inflows are currently less than 1000 acre-feet or 500 cfs per day and no significant rain is expected for the next 7 days. Should inflows remain at this level and slightly recede USBR may be able to manage them by just operating the Outlet Works, without the need for a relatively mild release over the Spillway.  USBR continues to monitor conditions and provide updates.
