This is taken from their report last fall:
"The tailwater flow is maintained by upper and lower leaks in the right rim (Figures 2 and 7), and supplemental releases from the orifice gate, sluice gate, and/or service station generator when no water is released from hydropower. TWRA has primary responsibility for fisheries management in the lake and tailwater."

So they are relying soley on the leaks to maintain river flow?
