<br />in eastern Wyoming at North :Platte River Mile 291. It is 29
<br />river miles upstream from GU\!rnsey Dam and 151 miles downstream
<br />from Alcova Dam. '['he storag\! capa.city is '795,196 acre-feet, of
<br />which 271,889 acre,..feet is authorized flood-control space. As

<br />zone. The flood-control zone is between elevations 4635 feet
<br />and 4653 feet m. s.1.
<br />
<br />b. Glendo inflow averaged 1,,000 to 2,000 cubic feet per
