Fort Peck Reservoir Water Elevation Continues to Drop

The numbers are in, and the reservoir is projected to keep shrinking through 2025..

The latest projection from the US Corp will see the reservoir drop as much as two feet in the coming months, despite discharge CFS dramatically reduced in October. The forecast on the upper basic condition looks to be 2223.4 feet water elevation while the lower basic plan calls for a water elevation of 2221.3 for the 134 mile reservoir in Montana by the end of 2025.
