<br />Water Year 1990 <br /> <br />It is projected that the water surface at flaming Gorge will be <br />at about elevation 6019 feet before the 1990 spring runoff, This <br />lower elevation drawdown is a result of continued below <br />average inflows for the last several years, Flaming Gorge <br />releases will most probably be maintaincd near the minimum <br />flow of 800 cfs during most of water year 1990 and the reservoir <br />is nor expected to fill this year duc to the projected below <br />average inflow, The reservoir will refill in the spring of 1991 <br />under the most probable inflow assumptions, <br /> <br />Under the most probable and reasonable minimum operation <br />plans the total water year 1990 releases will be about 770,000 <br />and 730,000 acre-feet, with total unregulated inflows of <br />1,400,000 and 756,000 acre-feet, respectively, <br /> <br />A reasonable maximum inflow for Flaming Gorge would <br />require peak average releases of 2,000 to 2,500 cfs during the <br />spring runoff, and August and September release <br />requirements would decrease to average about 1,600 cfs, Total <br />water year 1990 releases for the reasonable maximum <br />operation would be about 1.19 maf, with a total unregulated <br />inflow of 2.0 maf, <br /> <br />FLAMING GORGE STORAGE <br /> <br />1000 ACAE-t=~ <br />4000 <br /> <br />'000 <br /> <br /> <br />'000 <br /> <br />'000 <br /> <br />00 M D ~ F M A M ~ J A a 0 N D J F W A M J ~ A a 0 <br />ACTUAL 1989 AND PROJECTED 1990 <br /> <br />PROJECTED OPERATION 1990 <br />REASONABLE MAXtMUM RELEASES <br /> <br />....
