<br />LAKE POWELL <br />(COLORADO RIVER) <br /> <br />Water Year 1995 <br /> <br />Lake Powell, which is impounded by Glen Canyon Dam, is <br />operated as part of the Colorado River Storage Project <br />(CRSP) in acrordance with governing compacts and laws to <br />provide conservation storage, river. regulation, power <br />generation, recreation, and fISh and wildlife enhancement. <br />Interim minimum and maximum release rates and controlled <br />fluctuations were established below Glen Canyon Dam in <br />1991. The interim criteria are intended to reduce the effects <br />of power operations on downstream natural resources until <br />a Record of Decision is made on the Glen Canyon <br />Environmental Impact Statement. <br /> <br />ACTUAL RELEASES 1995 <br /> <br />IIIUJOII cu"c .,.. <br />1100 <br /> <br />11fOUIAJlID ACR:.....n <br /> <br /> 1 <br />- - - ~ -- - -- ~ ~ - <br /> 1 <br /> V <br /> / . <br /> 7 <br /> / <br /> . <br /> . <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />1100 <br /> <br />.,. <br /> <br />'.00 <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />100 <br /> <br />200 .. <br />R./J"'.rl'./'~" <br /> <br /> <br />Lake Powell began water year 1995 at elevation 1113.9 <br />meters (3654.4 feet) with a live content of 21,923 million <br />cubic meters (17,m,tXXl acre-feet) only 73 percent of <br />capacity.
