Jack Turner Dam is a cornerstone of our local water system, storing and regulating raw water to ensure a dependable supply for treatment, daily use, and future growth. The photo shows the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) to measure the Dam’s discharge by capturing water velocity across the channel. This trusted data informs water supply planning, reservoir operations, and decisions about drought and flood management. Together, real-time USGS flow data and Jack Turner Dam operations empower water professionals to make informed choices about supply, safety, and sustainability—keeping water available today while planning for tomorrow.
