June 5, 2008--Ruedi water release boost to help fish (Aspen Times)
Extra water will be released from Ruedi Reservoir this week with the intention of helping four endangered species of fish on the Colorado River without endangering humans in the Roaring Fork Valley. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced Wednesday it will increase the water releases from Ruedi from the current level of nearly 400 cubic feet per second (cfs) to just shy of 850 cfs by Sunday. The releases will be boosted in 50 cfs increments morning and evening, according to Carlos Lora, a water resources engineer with the bureau.
