The values presented in Table 8-4 are the results of separate analyses for
each water supply source. Vhen considering the total supply from all four
sources, the amount of water available for a specified recurrance interval
is not necessarily the amount obtained by adding the individual supplies.
One reason for this is that the year that produces, for example, the
100-year event with respect to available ditch water will often produce
events of other recurrence intervals for the other supply sources, thus
producing a composite event that could be either less or more severe than a
100-year event. A second reason is that the large amount of storage
capacity in the CBT system reduces the impact on total yield of short-term
droughts on system yield; the quota system described earlier is actually
intended to provide more water per unit of ownership during dry years than
during wet years. The results of these analyses cannot, therefore, be
directly compared to the evaluation of total system yield (Task 7)
discussed in Section 9.0 of this report.
