MODELING APPROACH AND RESULTS <br />To assess the impact and benefit of raw water storage, the model was used to <br />examine the impact of increased demand (number of EQRs) on the District's ability to <br />meet demand and Stream Flow Stewardship Goals without additional storage, identify <br />the number of days that shortages would occur, and identify the amount of raw water <br />storage required to minimize or eliminate the shortages. Results were found using the <br />computer model described above. <br />DEFINITIONS FOR MODELING RESULTS <br />The results for the model described above are presented in Tables 3 and 4. The <br />following paragraphs present definitions for the findings. <br />Number of Days District Demand is Not Met: The number of days when the <br />District's maximum physical and legal diversions did not meet the District's demand. <br />This result assumes that Stream Flow Stewardship Goal is missed in order to meet the <br />District's municipal demands. <br />Periods When Demand is Not Met (with No Storage): Date or range of dates <br />when the District was not able to meet municipal demand, for specific EQRs and the <br />Stream Flow Stewardship Goal. It is assumed that the District does not develop any <br />new raw water storage. <br />Amount the District is Short Each Period: Represents the amount that the <br />Districts physical and legal water supply is short in meeting municipal demand during the <br />associated date or range of dates. <br />Number of Days Stream Flow Stewardship Goal is Not Met Due to <br />Operation of the District: The Snowmass Creek stream flow below the District's <br />Snowmass Creek pump station was less than the Stream Flow Stewardship Goal due to <br />the District's diversion of water from Snowmass Creek. <br />Page 18 <br />
