<br />0091 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />WATER RESOURCES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water for the Granada Reservoir Project will consist of state line <br />flows in excess of Kansas irrigation requirements above Garden City and <br />would conserve flows now being lost past Garden City.. Below Garden City <br />there is no large irrigation development. These surplus flovm would <br />consist principally of winter irrigation return flows and BUmmer flood <br />flows originating below John Martin Ileservoir andabove the ColoradO- <br />Kansas State lineo Project waters would be diverted from the Arkansas <br />River near Holly. State line flows, without reduction for intervening <br />area, were assumed to occur at the feeder canal headgate.. <br />State line flows modified for operation of . John Martin Reservoirl <br />State line flo'l1s were taken from a recent operation study for John Martin <br />Reservoir prepared by the Hydrology and Sedimentation Subcommittee for <br />Colorado AWR. These flows are historic flows at the state line modified <br />to show the effect of John Martin Reservoir as if it had been in opara- <br />tion in accordance with provisions of the Arkansas' River Compact through- <br />out the 192i-l95o study period. The modified state line nor. reflects <br />the probable beneficial regulation by JohD Martin Reservoir. Granada <br />Reservoir would operate to convert a portion of tlie all'plus state line <br />flow to' beneficial use. <br />Kansas irrigation requirements under Arkansas River Compact: <br />Kansas irrigation requirements during the April-october growing season <br />'IJl:lre taken from a reoent operation study for John Martin Reservoir pre- <br />pared by the Hydrology and Sedimentation Subcommittee for Colorado A,V'R. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />
