was above average this winter, and the relative pmsition of the stora,ge particularly in the <br />reservoirs below Kersey, we expect many of the South Platte Reservoirs to fill and spill. See <br />pages 9-10. Pages 11-12 show that reservoir storage for Colorado Etbove Kersey are also fuller <br />than this time last year. <br />Snow Pack <br />Statewide snow pack for Colorado as of March 11, 2008 (April is not yet available) is shown on <br />page 13 of the attachments. Overall snow pack for Colorado is 126 percent of average, with the <br />South Platte basin at 106 percent of average. We expect the April snow pack results to remain <br />constant, or rise slightly. See Page 14, for a current snow water eqliivalent update (South Platte <br />at 114% as of April 14). I have also attached two NRCS snow wate;r equivalent charts on pages <br />15 and 16 that show non-exceedence projections for the South Platte basin. <br />III. SUMMARY <br />Fortunately, the South Platte reservoirs in both the upper part and tt?e lower part of Colorado are <br />in a better position to fill this year and there is a higher chance that fiows to Nebraska may be <br />better than the past several years. <br />INTERNET REFERENCES <br />• Colorado Stream Flow Data - http://dwr.state.co.us/hydrologv/flow search.asn <br />• Surface Water Supply Index - http://www.co.nres.usda.aov/sno?w <br />• Snow Pack - http:!/www.co.nres.usda.QOV/snow <br />• Snow Water Equivalent - http://vv%zi-N,.co.nres.usda.g-ov/snow <br />• Reservoir Storage - http://www.co.nres.usda.pov/snow <br />• Strcam Flow Forecast - httD://www.co.nres.usda.gov/snow
