HYDROLOGY AND PROJECT YIELD ANALYSIS <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />I nt roduct i on <br />The objective of the hydrologic analysis is to determine the water <br />availability in the project area and the resulting yield for the proposed <br />Union Park Reservoir. Streamflow data on the Taylor River, the East <br />River and the Gunnison River are available from published U.S. Geological <br />Survey Water Supply Papers. The Taylor River and the East River meet at <br />Almont to form the Gunnison River. A basin map of Gunnison River is <br />shown on Figure / 11[-1. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Previous Studies <br />Since 1986, three separate studies have been completed and reviewed by <br />WRC for the purpose of this report that provide information related to <br />the yield of the Union Park Project. These studies include the EBASCO <br />Study (October, 1986), W. W. Wheeler & Associates, Inc. Study (July, <br />1989) and Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority Study <br />(May, 1989). A brief description of each of these studies and thei r <br />findings is presented below. <br /> <br />1. Ebasco (October 1986) <br />Under an agreement with the Natural Energy Resources Company (rlECO), <br />Ebasco Services, Inc. conducted a reconnaissance evaluation study of <br />the Union Park Water Supply Project. <br /> <br />-27- <br />
