Those of us who do grammar instead of math appreciate your ability to figure that out.chumley wrote:At the current flow of about 10,000cfs at Calva, about 780 acre-feet of water is draining into the San Carlos every hour.
Even if it were to keep that flow rate for 24-hours, it would result in under 20,000 acre-feet additional into the reservoir. Since flood events taper down quite slowly, I'd expect the reservoir to rise somewhere near 10% of it's full 880,000 acre-feet capacity.
