Irrigators in Colorado will be concerned with <br /> <br />only the diversion shortages that an operational plan <br /> <br />produces while Kansas irrigators will be affected by <br /> <br />the stateline flows during the irrigation season. <br /> <br />During the process of developing the reservoir <br /> <br />operation simulation model the assumption was made that <br /> <br />irrigators in Kansas will agree to an operational plan <br /> <br />that guarantees them delivery of an amount of water at <br /> <br />the stateline that is at least equal to 40 percent of <br /> <br />the releases at John Martin Dam. This assumption, <br /> <br />while not in strict accord with the provisions of the <br /> <br />compact, is compatible with the intent of the compact <br /> <br />and had little effect on computed deliveries of water <br />
