I've been watching the "marina-cam" this morning..... And it appears that
the water is down from just this morning... just curious, (as it's been well
over 13 years since I went to havasu myself) does the water fluctuate-?
why, and how often/how much-?
thanks for answering my barrage of questions.

During the winter it does big time... so they can repair launch ramps and docks and stuff

Its all about irrigation, at least that’s what I’ve been told.

This last winter it was really low due to repairs being made on a launch ramp on the south end of the lake.

Water can fluctuate no more than +/- 4'. The exception being when the annual repairs are being done, and that is posted prior to the lowering.

Go Here for Daily Reports (http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/hourly.html)
The above link is to a government website that lists the water levels.
