<br />Lake Mohave (Colorado River) <br /> <br /> <br />Aenal view 01 Davis Dam and Lake Mohave. <br /> <br />Water Year 1981 <br />At the beginning of water year 1981, the water <br />surface elevation of Lake Mohave, which is <br />impounded by Davis Dam, was 633 feet. with <br />an active storage of 1.445,000 acre-feel. <br /> <br />During the winter months, the water level was <br />raised to 646 feet, with an active storage of <br />1.768,000 acre-feet at the end of May 1981, <br />The water level was drawn down during the <br />summer to its lowest elevation of the year, <br />633 feet by the end of August The reservoir <br />ended the water year at elevation 634 teet <br />with 1,464,000 acre-feet in aclive storage, <br /> <br />Lake Mohave releases were made to satisfy <br />dONnstream requirements, with a. small <br />amount of re-regulation at Lake Havasu. The <br />additional releases from Hoover Dam were <br />also routed through Lake Mohave, During the <br />water year approximately 10.174.000 acre- <br />feel were released at Davis Dam, all of which <br />passed through the turbines for power <br />production. <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />Water Year 1982 <br />The water level of Lake Mohave is scheduled <br />to rise through the fail and winter months and <br />reach elevation 645 feet by the end of May <br />1982, Because of heavy irrigation use during <br />the summer months, the water level in Lake <br />Mahava is expected to be drawn down to an <br />elevation of 630 feet by the end of water year <br />1982, During that time a total of 7,7 million <br />acre-feet is scheduled to be released from <br />Lake Mohave to meet all downstream <br />requirements. All releases are scheduled to <br />pass through the turbines for electric power <br />production, <br /> <br />Lak. Mohay.
