Table 4. Implementation Findings by C1 ass of Improvement Measure

In the category of reservoir conservation pools the two types of mea-
sures, maintenance of a minimum reservoir pool and control of reservoir
pool fl uctuation are associated with a 5i gni ficant deviation from the study
average. Minimum reservoir pool maintenance recommendations achieved unusual
implementation success. Once a minimum pool is incorporated into a project
operating plan, it Simply corresponds to the inactive conservation pool which
is rarely if ever evacuated and is therefore routinely maintained. Recom-
mendations for the control of reservoir pool fluctuations obtained strong
success at implementation. It is apparent that these recommendations once
accepted are associated with implementation success; perhaps only those
recommendations, which are consistent with the primary project purposes
are accepted.
