Water management

What's interesting is that our current water year we've seen the ability of what the storagesystem of BWS is capable of...we also were able to observe just how lucky those who live near the Boise river were as well as how accurate the instruments and extrapolations the hydrologists at the army corp and BoR can be.  I mean, the river was running at over 6k cfs for almost four months (https://waterwatch.usgs.gov/?m=real&r=id&w=map) and because we lucked out with spring temperatures major flooding was avoided.

Rocky Barker published a decent article on this a week or two ago.  Very relevant to this prompt.
