The Hardy, which has a larger capacity reservoir, larger turbines, and is upstream of the Croton, runs in full peaking mode, meaning that the river flow is impounded and used to generate electricity during peak demand periods. This causes wide fluctuations in water flows and reservoir levels, typically with low outflow during the night when ...

The lock consisted of two chambers back-to-back to bridge the difference in water level. [9] The each chamber ws 350 ft (110 m) long, 70 ft (21 m) wide at the top of its walls and 61.5 ft (18.7 m) at its bottom, and 12 ft (3.7 m) deep. [9] [10] The State Lock was replaced by the original Poe Lock in 1896.
The Huron River watershed drains 908 square miles (2,350 km 2). It is the only state-designated Country-Scenic Natural River in southeast Michigan. This includes 27.5 miles (44.3 km) of the mainstream, plus an additional 10.5 miles (16.9 km) of three tributaries. The river was named after the Huron band of Native Americans who
The river has the same fishing advisory as the Great Lakes. [11] Fish in the river include smallmouth bass, walleye, and some trout. [11] The water in the Flint River has high levels of chlorides (thought to be the result of, in part, road salt), making it highly corrosive to lead pipes.
