| The B120 report for February predicts that the "Unimpaired Flow" into Folsom Reservoir will be 2,320 TAF (thousand acre-feet). This translates to a Below Normal water year type for the rest of February through at least early March.
What this means is that we will get Saturday and Sunday releases until the end of February. Then, in March, expect scheduled releases every day except Wednesday.
The Below Normal designation will persist at least until the next B120 bulletin comes out, around March 9. Check back then for an update.
The scheduled release page gives more details, in particular minimum recreational releases in cfs and release times.

| The B120 report for March predicts that the "Unimpaired Flow" into Folsom Reservoir will be 2,400 TAF (thousand acre-feet), which is slightly up from last month. This translates to a Below Normal water year type for the rest of March through at least early April.
Continue to expect scheduled releases every day except Wednesday.
The Below Normal designation will persist at least until the next B120 bulletin comes out, around April 8. Check back then for an update.

| The B120 report for April predicts that the "Unimpaired Flow" into Folsom Reservoir will be 2,105 TAF (thousand acre-feet), which is significantly down from last month. On the other hand, the accumulated Full Natural Flow into Folsom is already over 1700 TAF, which guarantees at least a Below Normal designation until the B-120 report comes out in February next year.
Expect scheduled releases every day except Wednesday until Labor Day. After that, the schedule changes to fewer release days.
The Below Normal designation will persist at least until the next B120 bulletin comes out, around May 8. Though very unlikely, it's conceivable it might change to Above Normal at that point. So, check back then for an update.
