<br />. 0088 <br /> <br />ST.mfiMRY AND CONCLUSIONS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Granada Reservoir Project would consist of a 30,000 acre-foot <br />reservoir located on the south side of the Arkansas River at the Colorado- <br />Kansas State line (see exhibit 1). The reservoir would be served by a <br />feeder canal of at least 200 second-feet capacity diverting from the <br />Arkansas River near Holly;. Colorado. This study was prepared with a 200 <br />second..f.")f1t canal which is aesumed to be adequateo Water for the pJ.^oject <br />would be obtained from the outflow of the Arkansas River at the state <br />line surplus to the requirements of water users in Kansas above Garden <br />City. These surplus flows would consist principally of winter irriga- <br />tion return flows and summer flood flows originating between John <br />Martin ~eservoir and the state line. The average annual state line <br />flow is about 240,000 acre-feet for the period 1921-1950 as modified <br />to show the effects of John Martin l-leservoir. The flows storable. in <br />the Granada Reservoir would at times be limited by reservoir capacity.. <br />Diversions to the reservoir would be discontinued at such times as the <br />summer flood flows might be ce.rr:y-ing heavy sediment loads. <br />The Granada Reservoir would be op&ftted in close coordination with <br />and would complement the operation of the existing John Martin lleservoir. <br />The reservoir would be operated in accordance with the provisions of the <br />Arkansas River Compact and would accomplish three major purposest <br />1. replace~ent storage would be provided to offset <br />possible depletions to John Martin Reservoir resulting from <br />increased use of water on streams tributary to that reserVOir, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-1- <br /> <br />
