Less water is being released from the Post Falls Dam, due to lower than normal storage in Lake Coeur d’Alene, leaving less water to send down the Spokane River to Spokane. The amount of water released from the dam was lowered from 600 cubic feet per second to 500 cfs. Spokane Public Radio (Wash.), Aug 2, 2021
