<br /> <br />-. <br /> <br />Item 10 - (The following items were not on the original agenda.) This <br />is a series of itelllS suggested for discussion by Bernie Smith of the Federal <br />Energy Regulatory Commission. They were: <br /> <br />a. Review and identification of remaining hydropower potential <br />in relation to regional energy needs. Studies currently <br />underway by the Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers <br />cover this subject. We need to assure that the information <br />is available to members. <br /> <br />b. Adequacy of reservoir storage to meet needs. Also under <br />study . <br /> <br />c. Review of p~ped storage integration into water resource <br />plans. This was suggested as another topic that might be <br />the subject of a future meeting, maybe with a field trip if <br />the right location could be found. <br /> <br />d. Project operation relationships and impacts upon anadromous <br />fish passage at dams. Not a problem in the Colorado River <br />Basin. <br /> <br />e. Water temperature regime and relationship to river uses. <br />This matter is receiving a great deal of attention and is <br />a topic of some controversy. Release temperatures of water <br />at many reservoirs can be adjusted by multiple level <br />releases if the optimum temperature can be determined, i.e., <br />what type of fish should be favored? It was suggested that <br />this topic is more appropriate to the Environment and Recrea- <br />tion Subcommittee. ' <br /> <br />f. Review of the adequacy of levees and of r~servoir storage <br />for flood control. Such a study is being made. <br /> <br />g. The relationship of future irrigation withdrawals as they <br />affect alternative instream flow levels. As mentioned before, <br />this topic should be investigated in conjunction with the <br />Environmental and Recreation Subcommittee. <br /> <br />Item 11 - Dave Sveum presented copies of the "Report on Application <br />of Remote Sensing in Water Management in the Pacific Southwest, November, <br />1978" and asked for guidance about distribution. It was decided that copies <br />should be distributed to the parent committee, the Executive Subcommittee <br />and the techni ca1 subcommi ttees. It was further suggested that a few extras <br />be printed for distribution to others upon request. <br /> <br />i <br />. ; <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />i <br />.
