Q. If the Patterson plan had been effective during the water year <br /> <br />of 1943, what would have been the interstate relations? <br /> <br />A. The water year of 1943, oonsidered by winter and summer seasons, <br /> <br />was oharaoterized by. (a) above-average preoipitation and runoff in winter. - <br /> <br />diversions in Colorado totalled 336,600 AF, oompared to the historio average <br /> <br />of 252,300 AF; and Stateliu. flows (with Caddoa storing during January-March) <br />totalled 181,600 AF, oompared to the historio average of 80,300 AF; and (b) <br /> <br />an absenoe of plains runoff during SUllllller months, - as oompared to an average <br /> <br />of 604r900 AF per summer season, the Colorado diversions were 536,300 AF in <br /> <br /> <br />the summer of 1943, and would have bean materially lees exoept for substan- <br /> <br />tial oarryover storage from previous months and seasons. <br /> <br />Attaohed ,Table 3 shows, for the winter months Ootober-March <br /> <br />of the 1943 water year, that the total Stateline flow amounted to 181,600 AF <br /> <br />(even though Caddoa stored some 50,000 AF or more during January-Maroh) of <br /> <br /> <br />whioh, under the Patterson plan, 40,000 AF of the State line flow, was classi- <br /> <br />fied as usable, and represents the limit of oharge in winter months, - the <br /> <br />balanoe of 141,600 AF being unusable and non-ohargeable; and the Kansas credit, <br /> <br /> <br />at 12.4% of the Colorado diversions, was 41,800 AF. <br /> <br />In the SUllll11er of 1943, with Caddoa opera. ting (under the 1933 <br />stipulation) the total State line flow, all usable, was 59,500 AF. Except for <br /> <br />Caddoa reservoir the total State line flow would have amounted to 26,900 AF <br /> <br />that season. Measu.red in that way, Kansas received 32,600 AF of water whioh <br /> <br />(6) <br />
