The pool lost about 550f its original capacity by 1980, and it is estimated that by the 2050s it will have lost about 800f its capacity, when it may attain a dynamic volumetric equilibrium. At that time, the pool will behave more like a deeply incised river than like a lake. The pooling action of the river has also accelerated the formation of islands and deltas, especially at the mouths of tributaries. These tributary mouths are now behaving similarly to tributaries in a coastal environment. The morphological change on this pool is progressing through a predictable pattern, and it is believed that similar pools on other navigable waterways may follow a similar pattern.
