Little Rock has a dam downstream that makes the Arkansas River full. It's awesome for sure, much like Town Lake in Austin. The low water dams will ensure there is more water retained in the river, more of the time, but the reality is that the Keystone Reservoir upstream is what has been dictating how much water is in the river, especially during the day.
For whatever reason, the Corps does their max releases in the middle of the night. SO, the river is full more often when no one can see it.
Last night the River was up an entire foot and a half....at 4:00 am.
