紐約市同意將水庫保持8分滿的水位，這樣一來，萬一發生水災，雨水和融雪將有可以舒緩的地方。
特拉華流域管理委員會(Delaware River Basin Commission，DRBC)在9月26日會議上，指示管理會人員開始著手公共規則制定的進程，以利紐約市特拉華流域3座水庫對於修改後之「彈性流程管理計畫」的執行。
協議的目的是要減少特拉華河Cannonsville、Pepacton和Neversink這3座水庫在特殊情況下，下游河水氾濫或發生水災的情形。
而協議在減輕河水溢流的要件方面，主要是針對減少3座水庫因為暴風雨或融雪造成水庫水位太滿，因而溢出的可能性來做設定，並不包含特定無效目標在內。
New York City has agreed to keep its reservoirs 80 percent full so that rainwater and snowmelt has a place to go during flood events.
The Delaware River Basin Commission at its September 26 meeting directed commission staff to begin the public rulemaking process to implement an amended Flexible Flow Management Program for operation of the three New York City Delaware Basin reservoirs.
The intent of the agreement is to reduce flows and floods downriver from the Cannonsville, Pepacton and Neversink reservoirs during extreme conditions.
The agreement's spill mitigation component is intended to reduce the likelihood that the three reservoirs could be full and spilling over coincident with a major storm or thaw. It does not include specified void targets.
