<br />Mr~ Travis Smith, Superintendent <br />October 16, 2003 <br />Page 12 <br /> <br />3~ As shown in Table 5, we believe that Colorado credit water could have been stored in an <br />enlargement of Rio Grande Reservoir in 8 of the 53 years. The amounts ranged from <br />3,645 acre-feet in 1970 to 99,072 acre-feet in 1948. <br /> <br />4~ An enlargement of Rio Grande Reservoir could be managed to make reservoir capacity <br />available for additional direct flow storage by the DistrictJ the Rio Gran~e Canal Water <br />Users Association, and the Commonwealth Irrigation Company. OUf calculations' <br />showed that these entities could have stored respectively averages of 15,005 acre-feet, <br />23,297 acre-feet, and 4,433 acre-feet annually of additional direct flow water during the <br />1946-2002 irrigation seasons. <br /> <br />C:\S 1 02\091503.DDH <br />
