Re: [cobirds] Parts of Chatfield State Park (Jefferson & Douglas Counties) closed - Flooding

I was at South platte park this morning. Just 3 to 4 days ago, the river was running at 27,000 CFS. Today, the river was running at 11,000 CFS and was visibly much lower than it had been for the last month.

It makes me wonder if they have decreased the amount of water being released from Chatfield to the river. For the last month, the river was flowing very high even if there hadn't been raining for a couple of days. If they have decrease the amount of water being released, I'm suspicious of their motives, knowing that ultimately they would like to flood the Chatfield Park area.
