Warmer weather and potential for more rain could spell trouble along the Boise River as snow/water content in the mountains outstrips reservoir storage capacity.
LUCKY PEAK OUTLET GUSHES WITH RUNOFF
Steve Zerza and his readers at BOISE RIVER WILD TROUTare hashing out the numbers. Just like the weather that triggers the runoff, the picture changes daily.
I suppose all those people who built along the river will be yelling to have the tax payers protect there gated communities from the raising waters. The same ones that block access to the public getting to the river.
Let see you might get burned out in the foothills, you might get flooded out if you live under the dam, you might get flooded if you live in the North end. Where to live where there is no danger?
Not to worry if some thing bad happens we can all jump on the new street car down town and go to safety.
Part of the reasoning for creating the Greenbelt in Boise was to limit development and therefore flooding hassles at the river’s edge. Boise 1, Eagle 0
