In accOrdance with the Plan of study dated June <br />20, 1985, th<;i!followiriganalyse,s were made: <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />A water rights analysis wa$ made to e$timate the monthly <br />flows physically and legally 'available for s:torageat six <br />. sites for the.1951 to 1983 hy-drologic stUdy perioc:l. The <br />analysistva$lperforllled for existing condi tibns al'ld two <br />levels of future development of conditional water rights. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A reservoir operation analysis was performed to estimate <br />the firm annual yield of each reservoir site. In <br />consultation with' the Authority, the firltl annual yield <br />was defined as the volume of water that can be provided <br />every year without any shortage. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Green Mountain Reservoir waa analyzed in <!letail to <br />estimate its yield based on existing operating policies' <br />and onexistingColoraao River operations. The amount of <br />exchangeable water available for the Green Mountain <br />.Exchan~e project was also deterltlined. <br /> <br />To facilitate the computations involved in hydrologic and water <br />rights data management,. and to. perform a reservoir operation <br />analysis, a monthly hydrologic simUlation .model was used which <br />incorporates the Colorado wcite.rrights. priority system and other. <br />legal and institutional arrangements identified during the. study. <br />The, modeling area Covers the Upper.
