At the 50th percentile, Powell would be somewhat higher <br />under normal operations as compared to the Hybrids because the Hybrid <br />strategies tend to move water to balance contents with Mead. Hybrid rev triggers <br />balancing earlier (1100 ft in Mead) which causes Powell to decline further. <br />Initially, Powell benefits from the Hybrid strategies at the lower elevations (10th <br />percentile) because 7.48 MAF is released instead of the 8.23 MAF minimum <br />objective. The effects of balancing begin to take over after 2013 which results in <br />slightly lower Powell elevations. <br />7 <br />
