Can really see why weatherman says Omaha has been dry

At Wehrspann off handicap pier...must be 3-5ft low!

A buddy told me lastnight that the pumps for the back side of the lake have been turned off so that additional rock can be added around the bank.  Maybe this has attributed some to the low water levels.

Pumps???  There ain't no pumps that pump any water into Wehrspann Reservoir, not from the back side, front side, inside or out.  Water for that reservoir comes from runoff, from the  creek that feeds the reservoir.

It has been dry, we have been in a drought--that is why the water level is down.  Down about 4.4 feet right now, http://rivergages.mvr.usace.army.mil/WaterControl/new/layout.cfm .
