Woods Lake water levels and turbidity

As of August 2015 the current water level in Woods Lake is the lowest it has been since 2007 for this time of year.  This is a result of lower than average rainfall received in the area during the last 12 months which meant the irrigation season was longer than usual. (Woods Lake is primarily used to supply irrigation water to irrigators along the Lake River). Woods Lake only received 70% of average rainfall in the last year.
