The Flush
Reading an article today I saw some amazing information. Sabine Lake is 300,000 acre feet in volume. The current release of water from Toledo Bend is 400,000 acre feet per day, meaning there is enough water flowing down the river to replace the water in Sabine Lake every 16 hours. Now I know that hydrodynamics are a bit more complicated, with some of the downstream flow ending up in marshes, bayous and yards and houses and also saltier water is heavier and may persist in deeper areas, but for the near future discussions about Sabine Lake would likely be a better fit in the "Freshwater Discussion" area...I wonder if there are gong to be any specks in Sabine at all for a while with that much fresh water.
