Recreation Pool. Winter storage ended at 2400 hour, March 31, 1988.
During this period 52,735.99 a.f. was stored. This water was all-
ocated to various accounts as specified in the Operating Plan,
adopted by the Arkansas River Compact Administration on April 14,
1980. Summer storage began at 0001 hour, April 1, 1988, and ended
at 2400 hour, October 31, 198~. During this period 22,586.78a.f.
was stored in the Conservation Pool and transferred to accounts
as specified in the Operatinq Plan.

At the close of the compact year the reservoir contained
78,983.57 a.f. This :)..s a reduction of over 167,000 a.f. of storage
during the year, which reflects the below-average precipitation
during 1988.

A new feature has been added to the report this year. Table
XII shows the amount stored in each reservoir account'at 2400
hour, October 31, 1988. The other summary tables indicate the
status of various accounts durin~ the year. Daily and monthly
accounting sheets are also attached.

A new area-capacity table for John Martin Reservoir was intro-
duced into the system on February 1. The new tables show a loss
of capacity of 6,341.00,a.f. at that elevation*.All accounts were
reduced by proportionate amounts, which are displayed as."releases"
on February 1.
