Newlin Gulch is the <br />drainage area in which the Rueter-Hess Reservoir will be located. <br /> <br />peaking water: Water that is used solely to meet peak day demands during the summertime. <br /> <br />potable supplies: Water supplies that meet all applicable drinking water standards. <br /> <br />Ranney collectors: A large-diameter, vertical shaft that is drilled through the water-producing <br />zone. Horizontal shafts are then jacked out into the water-producing materials so water will <br />drain, by gravity, back to the main vertical collector, and then water is pumped from the main <br />vertical shaft. This method greatly increases the effective radius of the well and the production <br />rate of the well. <br /> <br />reserve pool: A volume of water that is maintained in the reservoir under normal <br />circumstances and is available as an emergency water supply under extreme drought <br />conditions. <br /> <br />reservoir: The body of water that is impounded behind a dam. <br /> <br />stream reach: A defined, continuous segment of a stream. <br /> <br />terminal storage: A facility which provides final water storage prior to use. <br /> <br />tributary water: In Colorado, considered to be waters of the State that are subject to the <br />Colorado appropriation doctrine. <br /> <br />B-3 <br />
