STATUS: The upper reservoir has two dated depth marks on its public schedule: one before the spillway was cleared and one after. The current release timetable remains in force.

RECORD: Surveyors have added the condition of the spillway beside each reading. The marks can now be compared without treating them as measurements of the same structure.

OPEN QUESTION: Whether the larger reserve proposal can keep water below the maintenance walk. The posted pair does not include a lower-flow test at the spillway lip.

DOWNSTREAM: The North Sluice and Seventh Bridge observations remain separate. The office has not yet matched a gate release with the arrival time and level at the last cistern.

NEXT: A lower-flow reading will be posted with the date and the state of the channel. Until then, the record supports a better comparison, not a new storage limit.
