<br />COLORADO BASIN <br /> <br />Basinwide Conditions Assessment <br />The SWSI value of +0.1 indicates that for August the <br />basin water supplies were near normal. Flow at the gaging <br />station Colorado River near Dotsero was 1,188 cfs, as <br />compared to the long-term average of 1,796 cfs. Storage in <br />Green Mountain, Ruedi, and Williams Fork reservoirs totaled <br />111 % of normal as of the end of August. <br />The upper Colorado River basin has been subject to <br />a senior administrative call from the Shoshone power plant <br />as we enter September. However, the lower basin has so <br />far this year escaped a River call from Cameo. <br /> <br />Administrative/Manaaement Concems <br />A surplus was declared In the Green Mountain <br />Reservoir historic user pool on August 16, which permitted <br />extra releases to be made to the Grand Valley. Green <br />Mountain Reservoir releases have been approximately 300 <br />cfs, which have benefited the endangered fish habitat in the <br />15-Mile Reach of the Grand Valley, In addition, Ruedi <br />Reservoir has been releasing 185 cfs and Williams Fork <br />Reservoir has been releasing 50 cfs, both from endangered <br />fish pools. <br /> <br />Sep-OS <br /> <br />-...... <br /> <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />w <br />~ <br />$ <br />f <br />., <br />~ <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />__..........J.o.<<I.-,.ol.lorHll:.-..o:I_.Ior>QII <br />-,- <br /> <br />CXJ.(P.,6OO RMR!IR txJlSER), flON If( WAieR '(&R <br /> <br />"""''''' <br /> <br />"""" <br /> <br /> ./" <br /> / <br /> / <br />/ V ,.-- <br />~ V <br />I <br /> <br />"'Xl"" <br />i <br />i,Z!iX),~ <br /> <br />~.OX>."" <br />~ <br />~'="" <br />S <br />j 1,cm,cm <br />i3 <br /> <br />o <br />Od:t>kNDecJa1FebMrdl.AplMJy.b1aJiihlgSep <br /> <br />__YoET(19lW) <br /> <br />~""(2Xl2) <br /> <br />~A'" <br /> <br />*'2005 <br /> <br />fti'REm'./rA~FESER..aRS <br /> <br />,",,"" <br /> <br />""''''' <br /> <br />ZJ."" <br /> <br /> <br />1: <br />18>"" <br /> <br />j "."" <br />" <br />","" <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />""'""""'" <br /> <br />..... <br /> <br />-..""" <br /> <br />.h.g.00I31onens <br /> <br />RC&'31.OSO::rierts <br /> <br />7 <br />
