In Scenario A without bookover, only one agency (Genesee)
satisfied release requirements while in the with-bookover scenar-
io three agencies (Indian Hills, Genesee and Evergreen) satisfied
all release requirements. Three of the other agencies (Morrison,
Mt. Carbon and Lakewood) decreased the quantity that was short
for release. All agencies utilized the bookover spaces during
Scenario A. There was 0.5 feet less fluctuation in the with-
bookover scenario. (See Figure 10.)
In Scenario B without bookover, four agencies (Indian Hills,
Genesee, Evergreen and Morrison) satisfied release requirements.
In the bookover scenario, one more agency (Lakewood) satisfied
requirements. Mt. Carbon and Englewood did not satisfy require-
ments because of a lack of water inflow, but their shortages were
decreased in the bookover scenario. The State's shortages dou-
bled because of not having any priority to the bookover space.
Water level fluctuation decreased by nearly six feet with the
bookover. (See Figure 11.)
The changes from Scenario B to C are minor with no change in
shortages or snillage. Where there are differences, it is pri-
marily a result of the agencies in the "B" scenarios having a
starting balance in their respective accounts and "CD scenarios

having no water in their accounts. The water level fluctuation

between the Scenario C runs was approximately five feet less for

the bookover scenario. (See Figure 12.)

In Scenario D without bookover, five agencies (State,

Morrison, Lakewood, Mt. Carbon and Englewood) were short water

for release requirement. In Scenario D with bookover, the first
