Note: Depletions are from mainstem diversions of the Colorado River only. Does not include depletions from diversions
of Colorado River tributaries nor evaporation from mainstem reservoirs. The figures represent measured diversions less
measured and estimated, unmeasured retum flow which can be assigned to a specific project. Includes estimates for
Lake Powell, Wayne N. Aspinall Unit, and Flaming Gorge Reservoirs. This charge is provided in article V of the Upper
Colorado River Compact and is identified in table 3 as 'Evaporation from storage units.'
