<br />ARKANSAS BASIN <br /> <br />Basinwide Conditions Assessment <br />The SVVSI value of -2.2 indicates that for June the <br />basin water supplies were below normal. Flow at the gaging <br />station Arkansas River near Portland was 1,194 cfs, as <br />compared to the long-term average of 2,364 cfs Storage in <br />Turquoise, Twin lakes, Pueblo, and John Martin reservoirs <br />totaled 53% of normal as of the end of June. <br /> <br />Outlook <br />Precipitation during the month, along with flow from <br />the latter part of the snowmelt runoff, led to fair supply <br />conditions for most areas of the basin in June Fryingpan- <br />Arkansas Imports exceeded the original conservative <br />projections allOWing the Southeastern Colorado Water <br />Conservancy District to allocate an additional block of water <br />for muniCipal and agricultural use. <br /> <br />Administrative/ManaClement Concems <br />Augmentation water available for muniCipalities east <br />of Pueblo has been a concern for 2004 and the Colorado <br />Water Protective and Development Association has been <br />meeting WIth these municipalities to help plan for anticipated <br />short supplies for future years <br />John Martin Reservoir is at the lowest level in several <br />decades and will continue to drop throughout the summer <br />absent a conservation storage event Operations to pass <br />native water through the reservoir become somewhat more <br />difficult due to uncertainty about ungaged inflows and <br />variable losses from las Animas into the reservOir. <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />Jul-04 <br /> <br /> <br />, <br />" <br /> <br />3'1 <br />I <br />.. <br /> <br />---........-------'" <br /> <br />..-...... <br /> <br />'200c:m, <br /> <br />~~"""Po.:RTlJ>N.)F\Dl'>'fJf.....IDl\'fJlfl <br /> <br />I <br />11c:mc:mr-- <br /> <br />l ~~, . <br />~ . <br />... llIl(Dl! -+-- <br />. <br />. <br />, <br />i oI)J(Dl; <br />, <br />u <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />I <br />L , <br />~ <br />. <br />.4 <br />, <br /> <br />.~""" <br /> <br />/ <br />y- <br /> <br />",..---" <br /> <br />. /-+- <br />-+- j-'" . <br />// <br />XllWl+- _;~~; _~_ .-=. <br />='*'~ <br />0'-= -'-- ~ l- _ --L-- <br />O:l ''''' Doc ... ..., """" "<>1 ~.Ant u., "'-\I s.r <br /> <br />'II(l'(1\&li <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />~a. <br /> <br />~a" <br /> <br />~at- <br />J <br />'''''<In' <br />f .,,,,,. <br />~ <br />j "''''':- <br />:>...""j-- <br /> <br /> <br />.a, <br /> <br />0' <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />~"'T'M'.~SEIM)llS <br /> <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />. ....
