<br />3 <br /> <br />data, and minimum stream flows. The actual network for the computer model <br /> <br />is documented in Section 3 of the Technical Report. <br /> <br />For the purpose of this study, it is assumed that no change in <br /> <br />storage occurs behind Morrow Point or Crystal dams. At Blue Mesa, the <br /> <br />model distinguishes between water which is released out of storage from <br /> <br />water which is not stored and can be either bypassed through the river <br /> <br />outlet or passed over the spillway. All water released from Blue Mesa <br /> <br />storage is assumed to be routed through the Blue Mesa hydropower outlet. <br /> <br />Blue Mesa storage bypasses are also routed through the hydropower outlet <br /> <br />to the extent that outlet capacity is available. It is assumed that all <br /> <br />discharges below Blue Mesa - Blue Mesa storage releases, storage bypasses, <br /> <br />spills, and flow gains - are passed through the Morrow Point and Crystal <br /> <br /> <br />power plants to the extent of their capacities, but that the capacities of <br /> <br />these lower facilities do not constrain operations at Blue Mesa. <br /> <br />C. Important Pat'ameters and Conversion Factors <br /> <br />A number of important parameters used in the model are shown on <br /> <br />Table 1. Table 1 also shows the conversion of important model parameters <br /> <br />from cubic feet per second into acre feet per month. All model results <br /> <br />are reported in acre feet per month. <br /> <br />WBLA, Inc. 1909 Broadway, #3, Boulder, Colorado 80302 <br />
