Souhegan Flood Control Dam 28 is designed to maintain a normal pool level and release excess water
without operations. Normally the pond drain line gate is closed. The normal level is maintained by
the low stage orifice openings. The principal spillway riser and reservoir storage is designed to retard
runoff from up to a 100 yr storm without flow occurring in the auxiliary spillway.
Note: Water levels generally fluctuate in response to precipitation,
snowmelt, drought or other meteorological conditions. Target water levels
are maintained by the adjustment of flows at the dam in response
to these conditions. |
