<br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />. <br />I <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />j <br /> <br />The drought has required careful management of supplies and <br />cooperation among diverse water users. <br />- record low streamflows in the poudre Basin reduced the yield of even senior <br />rights, <br />- the City has several of the earliest rights in the basin so impact was somewhat <br />mitigated, <br />- low storage volumes in the CBT Project have impacted allocations from that <br />system for several years, <br />- low streamflows on the West Slope have impaired availability of Windy Gap water, <br />- water conservation efforts were quite successful at reducing demands allowing for <br />more carryover storage, <br />- limited storage capacity has limited our ability to carry surplus supplies over for <br />future dry years, <br />- temporary exchanges with irrigation companies and use of their storage vessels <br />helped secure more supply, <br />- reduced supply has meant very little water available for rental to the agricultural <br />community, <br />- reduced revenues from surplus water rentals and reduced use by treated water <br />customers, <br />- increased expenses for acquisition of temporary supplemental supplies. <br /> <br />Email correspondence from Beth Molenaar, Water Engineer, City of Fort Collins, <br />Water Resources Department. <br />
