<br />8, WATER SUPPLY, RESERVOIR OPERA nONS AND HYDROLOGIC DATA <br /> <br />Reservoir operations at John Martin follow the operating plan adopted by the Compact <br />Adminislraion on April 24. 1980. This operating plan was revised on May 10. 1984 and <br />Decemberll. 1984 but has not been revised since that time. Accordingly, a system ofw3.ter <br />storage accounts exists in John Martin Reservoir into which reservoir innows are distrib- <br />uted for release at a later dale. While these accounts have often been referred to;3.5 "Arric1e <br />lI"and "Article HI" accounts. the correct designation based on the organization of the <br />operating plan resolution is "Section II" and "Section III" accounts. This repan uses the <br />term "Seclion" whenever referring 10 [he accounts established pursuanllo the operating <br />plan. <br /> <br />General reservoir operations during compact year 1988 are described in Table I. which <br />follows: <br /> <br />" <br />I <br /> <br /> TABLE I <br /> JOHN MARTIN RESERVOIR <br /> OPERATION, COMPACT YEAR 1988 (AF) <br /> Contents Inflow to E\'Jpo- Stor;]g:e Contents <br /> Month Bel:>:in Man Storal!'e ration Rdea~e End Mon <br /> Nov. 2-t6.367.&5 13,7~9.70 1,782.00 ~.563.55 253,772.00 <br /> Dec. 253.772.00 17.405.00 1.193.00 0.00 269.98~.00 <br /> Jan. 269.~84.00 17.182.00 9.00 0.00 287.157.00 <br /> Feb.1 287,157.00 19,924.00 449.00 6.341.00 300.291.00 <br /> Mar. 300,291.00 14.243.58 4.366.00 6.234.58 303,934.00 <br /> Winter Subtotal 82.504.28 7,799.00 17.139.13 <br /> Apr.' 303.934.00 15,993.48 4,916.00 31.630.48 283.381.00 <br /> MayJ 283,381.00 6.593.30 6,395.00 28,424.91 255.154.39 <br /> June ~ 255,154.39 0.00 6.849.00 37,373.15 210.932.24 <br /> July l 210.932.24 0.00 6.141.00 54,873.28 149.917.96 <br /> Aug.J 149.917.96 0.00 4,276.00 49.636.37 96.005.59 <br /> Sept.) 96.005.59 0.00 2.402.00 12,038.05 81.565.54 <br /> Oct ~ 81.565.54 0.00 1.349.00 1,232.97 78.983.57 <br /> Summer SubtOlal 22,586.78 32.328.00 215.209.21 <br /> Year TOlal 105.091.06 40.127.00 232.348.34 <br /> NOTES: <br />, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a new area-capacity table effective <br /> February 1,1988.
