Plate 7 shows the computed storage in
Lake Mead based on the absence of all Colo-
rado River Storage Project reservoirs and the
actual storage in Lake Mead. At the base of
Plate 7 is shown the computed Hoover Pow-
erplant generation for both the actual and

computed Lake Mead storage curves. Month-
ly figures for the energy deficiency are
shown in Table 8. The difference in energy
production caused by the CRSP reservoirs is
also shown in Table 8,
