ARKANSAS BASIN

Dec-01

Basinwide Conditions Assessment
The SWSI value'of -2.0 indicates that for November
the basin water supplies were below normal. The Natural
Resources Conservation Service reports that December 1
snowpack is 60% of normal. Flow at the gaging station
Arkansas River near Portland was 343 cfs, as compared to
the long-term average of 453 cfs. Storage in Turquoise, Twin
Lakes, Pueblo. and John Martin reservoirs totaled 77% of
normal.as of the end of November.

Outlook
Winter Compact storage began in John Martin
Reservoir on November 1, 2001. The Pueblo Winter Water
Program began operation on November 15, 2001 with
storage taking place in both Pueblo and John Martin
Reservoirs and several off-channel locations. Participants in
storage programs are anxious to replenish stored water
supplies that were greatly reduced during the past irrigation
season. River flows available for storage have so far been
fairly low compared to previous years.
