<br />The current (February 1,2003) statewide reservoir levels are at 52% of average with the <br />Colorado Basin recording the lowest average at 36%. The Gunnison Basin showed a <br />slight improvement during January and February, but all other basins were either holding <br />steady or declined. <br /> <br />The Surface Water Supply Index (SWSI) has been consistently negative. The Supply <br />Index Values show that surface water compared to January has decreased in all basins <br />except the South Plate basin. <br /> <br />Mr. Gillespie reported that the stream flow is at 50- 70% of average across the state <br />except for the Colorado Basin which is better at 70-90%. He said that he is hoping to see <br />the stream flow forecast pick up a little due to the recent snow in the high country. <br /> <br />Colorado is currently 60% through the snow/water season, and there is probably only a <br />10% chance to improve and get back to average based on February 1 data. <br /> <br />Jack Bvers. Division of Water Resources. W ATF Vice-Chair <br />Mr. Byers mentioned that conditions are getting better, but we have a long way to go. <br />Mr. Byers provided a handout, which described water levels within various reservoirs <br />across the state.
