<br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Travis Smith, Superintendent <br />October 16, 2003 <br />Page 12 <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />As shown in Table 5, we believe that Colorado credit water could have been stored in an <br />enlargement of RiQ ,"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 District, the Rio Grande Canal Water <br />Users Association, and the Commonwealth Irrigation Company. Our 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. j <br /> <br />.
