Animas- La Plata Environmental Impact Statement

Observations for all three scenarios: - Formatted: Font: Bold
• Allowing year -round pumping during the declining limb of the graph (reservoir dropping) has
little impact. This is because when the reservoir is dropping, available river water is minimal.
• Year -round pumping is most beneficial in recovering reservoir content following end of low river
flows (after drought ends) In other words, pumping year -round during a drought does not
Produce significant additional flow.
