The values for the Stubbs, Manvel, X- Y and Fort Bent sources include the direct flow <br />and Article II Account water components. The yields shown for the Stubbs, Manvel and X- Y <br />sources are different from those reported earlier because the values shown below reflect the <br />consumable percentage rates derived from output generated by the Kansas H-I Model as <br />directed by the State Engineer for LAWMA's 1998 replacement plan. Also, the X-V yield <br />reflects acquisition of an additional 1 ets of the water right and an increase in the dry-up <br />acreage. The total yield of 17,680 acre-feet is 369 acre-feet less than the average-year <br />replacement requirements. This difference can be made up with acquisitions of Fort Bent and <br />Amity water as well as with spot market acquisitions of consumable water. <br /> <br />Source <br /> <br />Expected <br />Annual Yield <br />(acre-feet) <br /> <br />Fryingpan-Arkansas Project <br />Releases from Kansas Transit Loss <br />50 Lamar Canal Shares <br />Colorado Beef <br />Stubbs Water Right <br />Manvel Water Right <br />X- Y Water Right <br />1,625 Fort Bent Shares <br />3,569 Highland Shares <br />Total <br /> <br />3,000 <br />750 <br />40 <br />360 <br />470 <br />1,360 <br />5,560 <br />1,220 <br />4.920 <br />17,680 <br /> <br />Table 13 shows the inflow to the Stubbs, X-Y/Graham and Manvel Article II Accounts for <br />1980 through 1994. The annual totals averaged 8,532 acre-feet annually and ranged from <br />2,226 acre-feet in 1990 to 25,489 acre-feet in 1987. For the 1998 replacement plan, 68.1 <br />percent of the Stubbs, 66.0 percent of the X-V Graham, and 57.0 percent of the Manvel <br />account water is considered to be consumable. The change in the consumable percentage <br />rates is due to the State Engineer's directive to use the factors derived from operation of the <br />Kansas H-I Model. <br /> <br />OPPORTUNITIES TO REDUCE WELL PUMPING/INCREASE REPLACEMENT SUPPLIES <br /> <br />Shortfalls in the amounts of replacement water may exist in the future in dry, low-flow <br />years. There are two solutions for the shortfall condition: re?uce stream depletions caused by <br />well pumpage or obtain additional replacement supplies. Specific opportunities to incorporate <br />these solutions are described below. <br /> <br />Page 13 <br />
