CDH will use the <br />water supply models from Task 1 to determine the total system yield <br />under Design Conditions assuming that the City diverted "free" water as <br />such water was available. <br /> <br />Plan Elements #3 through #S (Reservoir Storage) <br /> <br />The revised models from Phase II - Task 2 will be used to determine the <br />reservoir capacities required to eliminate the deficit under Design <br />Conditions. Graphs will be constructed depicting surplus or deficit <br />versus level of implementation as illustrated in Figure 3-1. Sources <br />of water for storage to be considered are as follows: <br /> <br />a. "Free" water (new direct-flow right) <br /> <br />b. City-owned direct-flow rights <br /> <br />c. Transfer-decree water <br /> <br />d. CBT Project water <br /> <br />e. lIindy Gap Project water <br /> <br />Plan Elements #6 and #7 (CBT and lIindy Gap lIater) <br /> <br />The revised models will be used to separately determine the number of <br />additional units of CBr and lIindy Gap water which should be acquired to <br />eliminate the deficit under Design Conditions. Graphs of surplus or <br />deficit versus the number of project units or lIindy Gap shares owned <br />will be constructed, as shown in figures 3-2 and 3-3. <br /> <br />Acquisition of Additional Direct flow Rights <br /> <br />CDH will use the water supply models in the same manner as described <br />above to determine the increase in total yield for acquisition of <br />additional No. 1 and No. 2 direct-flow rights on the Big Thompson <br />River. CDH will also determioe total system yield under the Design <br />Conditions for complete City ownership of water rights in the following <br />irrigation ditches: <br /> <br />3-1 <br />
