A low water dam near 21st Street keeps the river filled from bank to bank above that point. Here just below the 51St Street (I-44) bridge it dwindles according to the amount of rainfall upstream. There are plans to build two more low water dams near 51st and 71st Streets which will allow a more consistent water level in the river.

interesting shot, and information.
Love all your beautiful shots of Oklahoma. My son was hoping to play ball there.
thanks for sharing

oh my. time for the cleanup crews to come through. what a good activity that would be for earth day.
That's really low. I was able to walk almost all the way across from the east bank to the west bank a few hundred yards below the pedestrian bridge a few years ago. Keystone dam was completely blocked off.
The floor of the river was like a smooth concrete pavement. Like a shale or something.
C'est aussi le signe qu'il ne pleut pas trop, non ?
Bisous à Susan, vous et caresses à Smokey.
je suis très occupée avec mes petites-filles en vacances. Sorry.
Kisses.
Hi!
WOW! It looks really eerie with not water in the river. Great shot. Have a great day!

This looks like so many of the lakes around here due to the drought ... though most of them have got a bit of a drink over the past few months.
