Photo Gallery: Rollins Reservoir Drawdown 2024

 Check back regularly for updated photos that show the decreasing water level in Rollins Reservoir.

A graph titled "ROLLINS RESERVOIR 2024 FORECAST" with multi-colored lines and markers, possibly indicating water levels or storage data.
At Rollins, the actual level has virtually flatlined as flows arrive from Lake Spaulding. The results are better than anticipated, although the level remains very low.
