Officials to halt Oroville Dam outflow to clear debris
California water officials will gradually stop the Oroville Dam outflow to remove debris from a pool below the spillway. The Hyatt Power Plant could resume discharge at about 14 000 cubic feet per second once cleared, aiding reservoir management through spring runoff. The reservoir has fallen about 60 feet from capacity, with current inflows around 25 000 CFS and outflows planned at 50 000 CFS through Sunday night. Emergency spillway repairs followed February breaches that prompted evacuations for 188 000 residents.

California governor seeks 437 million for flood and emergency relief
Governor Jerry Brown unveiled a 437 million plan to speed flood control in Northern California and boost emergency readiness, aiming to complete work in two years and address broader, 1 billion dollar damage estimates from recent storms and Oroville Dam spillway issues. The package would accelerate bond-funded projects, focus on high flood risk areas in the Central Valley and Delta, and add 50 million for emergency preparedness while delaying other levee maintenance. Brown urged federal help and noted unfunded infrastructure needs totaling about 187 billion across state roads and utilities.
