Corps to Move Water from Beaver to Table Rock, Bull Shoals

The Army Corps of Engineers plans to move water into Table Rock and Bulls Shoals lakes beginning Tuesday. Those lakes, along with Lake Taneycomo, are downstream from Beaver Lake, which is located in northwest Arkansas.

Beaver's current elevation of 1-thousand-127 feet needs to be lowered about 7 feet to conservation pool, according to the Corps of Engineers. A news release states Table Rock currently is below conservation pool elevation, with Bull Shoals expected to be within two feet of its conservation pool of 654 feet by January 19th.

Possible rainfall this weekend could alter the plan to begin making releases Tuesday morning through the hydropower turbines at Beaver Dam.
