Bull Shoals release, full effects will not be known for several hours. by Staff Writer

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Army Corps of Engineers is advising people in flood plains downstream of Beaver, Table Rock, Bull Shoals and Norfork dams in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri to maintain awareness and monitor lake levels and weather.  These lakes are filling and have very little storage capacity to hold additional rainfall, and more rain is forecast in coming days.

People should decide beforehand whether to move belongings to higher ground.  Flows downstream can increase quickly, with perhaps no more than an hour or two notice.  The timing of the rainfall could make additional releases necessary during the overnight hours. (more)

About Bull Shoals Lake

Congress authorized construction of Bull Shoals Dam in 1941, but World War ll delayed the project. After two rounds of bidding, the contract was signed in May of 1947. Construction took from 1947 until 1951, with the power system installation completed in 1952. The cost was $76 million, plus nearly $30 million for the power system..

President Harry Truman always said the lakes and dams were for the use of the people.
