<br />LAKE MOHAVE <br />(COLORADO RIVER) <br /> <br />Water Year 1995 <br /> <br />At the beginning of water year 1995, the water surface <br />elevation of Lake Mohave, which is impounded by Davis <br />Dam, was 192.1 meters (630.23 feet), with an active storage <br />of approximately 1,682 million cubic meters (1,364,000 <br />acre-feet). The water level of Lake Mohave was regulated <br />as needed between elevation 196.6 meters (645.0 feet) and <br />192.0 meters (630.0) throughout the water year ending the <br />year at an elevation of 195.3 meters (640.66 feet), with 2,017 <br />million cubic meters (1,635,000 acre-feet) in active storage. <br /> <br />Lake Mohave releases were made for downstream water use <br />requirements, including diversions by users in the vicinities <br />of Laughlin, Nevada; Bullhead City, Arizona; and Needles, <br />California, by The Metropolitan Water District of Southern <br />California (MWD), the Central Ariwna Project (CAP), and <br />the users downstream from Parker Dam.
