This paper reports on the Saluda hydroelectric project, a peaking power project located bout 11 miles upstream from Columbia, South Carolina on the Saluda River. The Saluda Dam creates Lake Murray reservoir with a drainage area of about 2,420 square miles and a surface area of approximately 48,000 acres at maximum pool elevation. Storage for this reservoir is about 1.3 million acre-feet between elevations 330 and 360 ft-NGVD. Flood forecasting at the dam is discussed in this paper.
