less than 50% copied, more at link and still nobody knows why this happened? HARRISONBURG, Va. - Officials are trying to figure out what caused water levels to drop twice in a four-day span this summer along the Shenandoah River's North Fork.
The Daily News-Record ( [link to DON'T_USE-THIS] reports the Shenandoah Riverkeeper advocacy group has sent letters asking about 800 landowners to report unusual observations about the river.
Data taken from a U.S. Geological Survey gauge near Strasburg shows the water level dropped more than 3 inches on June 29, the day a severe windstorm struck the region. The levels dropped again on July 3.
The river's level hit 1.7 feet on June 29 after being at about 2.4 feet around June 20. In the span of a few hours on June 29, the water flow went from 175 to 65 cubic feet per second.
Gauges throughout Shenandoah County and north to Winchester reported alarming water-level losses, while those in Rockingham County didn't show a severe drop. [ link to www.wtop.com] I was kayaking the north fork over the summer the water level is naturally lower in the summer but it was horribly low when I went. I would notI even call it kayaking it was more like we were just walking on the rocks in the river it sucked.
