Some of the proposed larger reservoir complexes considered in this study include: (1) Juniper and Cross Mountain project (Colorado River Water Conservation District, 1975); (2) Oak Creek Water and Power Project (Oak Creek Power Company, 1976), which includes the following proposed reservoirs: Blacktail, Lower Green, Upper and Lower Middle, and Childress; (3) Savery-Pot Hook project (U.S. Depart- ment of the Interior, 1976); and (4) Yamcolo project (Western Engineers, Inc., 1975). The proposed Pleasant Valley Reservoir is an expansion of the existing Lake Catamount Reservoir (Woodward-Clyde Consultants, 1977). PROPOSED DIVERSIONS USED IN THE MODEL Diversions associated with reservoir development in the Yampa River basin are proposed for agricultural, industrial, and municipal use within the basin, and municipal use outside the basin (transmountain diversions). In the model simula- tions, the proposed diversions for agricultural use within the basin were varied by using percentage water-use allol:ations (25, 50, 75, and 100 percent) of the 11
