Kenney Dam:
Water from the Nechako Reservoir is released downstream in two ways:
water released to the Nechako River (both for fisheries conservation/protection and to
spill excess reservoir inflows) exits on the eastern end of the reservoir, through the
Skins Lake Spillway, passing through the Cheslatta River, Cheslatta Lake, and Murray
Lake and entering the Nechako River at Cheslatta Falls,
water released for power generation exits westward through the Tahtsa system into an
underground tunnel to the Kemano powerhouse then into the Kemano River which
meets up with the Pacific Ocean downstream
