<br />methodology we use, the. .end result, is. the 15 year figure.. ' The 15 <br />year average is the best basis we can work from. <br /> <br />As Mr. Sparks mentioned, we <br />to that also in the report. <br />gave the 10ngevities in the <br />Rio Grande is correct. <br /> <br />do have about 30 years of data. We refer <br />Some are 30, and some are shorter. We <br />report. But the answer you got from the <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: When you repor.t, fot' instance, in. the San Juan3,that.= , <br />at this particular time there is 180 or 200 or 220 percent of normal, <br />this is 220 percent of the normal 15 year average, though, on snowfall <br />or water content?
