havasu water level: does it fluctuate-? why-?

[Sherpa]

I've been watching the "marina-cam" this morning..... And it appears that
the water is down from just this morning... just curious, (as it's been well
over 13 years since I went to havasu myself) does the water fluctuate-?
why, and how often/how much-?
thanks for answering my barrage of questions.

its part of a "river" aka dam....
yup, it fluctuates a little bit

During the winter it does big time... so they can repair launch ramps and docks and stuff

[dicudmore]

she's got that right....it was WAY LOW this winter

Its all about irrigation, at least that’s what I’ve been told.

[Havasu_Dreamin]

This last winter it was really low due to repairs being made on a launch ramp on the south end of the lake.

Water can fluctuate no more than +/- 4'. The exception being when the annual repairs are being done, and that is posted prior to the lowering.
