A permanent fish pool of 7,500 acre-feet in John Martin Reservoir and 3,000 acre-feet in Granada Reservoir would be provided. Additional irrigation use to be served from Granada Reservoir was assumed to be 60 percent in Colorado and 40 percent in Kansas. Additional use above Granada Reservoir could not be served direct but would be accomplished by exchange with John Martin Reservoir - deliver John Martin Reservoir state line requirements from Granada Reservoir while Granada require- . ments above the reservoir would be delivered from John Martin Reservoir. The reservoir operation studielil indicate that with a storage capac- ity of 30,000 acre-feet the Granada Reservoir could provide an average annual water supply for the purposes shown in the following tabulation!
