Our goal is to try and maintain the river levels and keep flows at a regulated level. It takes a lot of planning and coordination for an extended period of time.

Don't push the river; it flows by itself.

When you look at the Napa area, that location does not have a set of reservoir systems and unfortunately is not able to handle peak rainfall, which translated into some urban flooding for that community.

We're certainly guarded with the weather, how it's coming in right now and how it's going to play out in the system. But right now we're very optimistic.

It's obviously not going to get better for a long time. Nature will take its course a little bit here.

Our goal is to try to maintain flows at a level that the flood control system should perform adequately.
