River Levels

The water levels on the White River tailwater change daily due to the 8 turbine generators on the Bull Shoals dam that the Corps of Engineers operates hydroelectric power. The discharge of water is proportional to the number of turbine generators operating during the day. For the current water levels, call the Bull Shoals Powerhouse (870) 431-5311. The recorded message is report of current conditions only, not a forecast for future water releases.
