The water level was <br />drawn down during April and May to <br />elevation 641. During the month of June, <br />Lake Mohave reached 8 high elevation of <br />646.8, with an active storage of 1 ,800,000 <br />acre-feet. The reservoir ended the water year <br />at elevation 639feetwlthJ ,800,000 acre-feet <br />In active storage. <br /> <br />Lake Mohave rereases were made to sBtlsfy <br />flood control reQuirements and downstream <br />watsr use requirements, with a small amount <br />or reregulatlon at Lake Havasu. During the <br />water year, approximately 14,778,000 <br />acre-feet were released at Davis Dam. Of that <br />amount, approximately 11 ,827,000 acre-feet <br />passed through the turbines for power <br />production. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />~I',_- ) <br />". ~ 'i;:"~~:~~~' ;~ ~l <br />'.;,,'-~,,~j.~;~t':~:~H},~~:~: L,~; <br /> <br />W.t.r V..r1984 <br />Under average Inflow conditions the water <br />level of Lake Mohave Is scheduled to reach an <br />elevation of 841 fe.t by the end of January <br />1984 and remain at that elevation for the <br />remainder of the water year. During the <br />water year a total of 16 mill/on acre-feet IS <br />scheduled to be released from Lake Mohave to <br />meet all downstream and flood control <br />requirements.
