<br />Water Year 1987 <br /> <br />Blue Mesa powcrplant will be operated to mlnlm,ze <br />powerplant bypasses at Crystal Dam. Assuming near average <br />inflow during water year 1987, a low elevation of 7,448 feet is <br />expected by the end of March, with a maximum elevation of <br />7,519 feet in July. <br /> <br />Morrow Point Reservoir will fluctuate up to its release <br />capacity during the coming year. Crystal Reservoir will <br />operate at full capacity to regulate tbe releases from Morrow <br />Point and to meet downstream requirements for fish babitat <br />and diversions througb the Gunnison Tunnel. <br /> <br />With reasonable maximum inflows, releases from Crystal <br />Oam will be at least 4,000 ofs and possibly higher. Assuming <br />near average inflow conditions, releases from Crystal <br />Reservoir will be at maximum powerplant capacity of 1,700 <br />cfs in addition to scheduled bypasses of up to 1,000 cfs. Under <br />reasonable minimum inflow conditions, releases will range <br />from 1,000 cfs to 1,700 cfs. <br /> <br />BLUE MESA STORAGE <br /> <br />1000 ACRE-FEET <br />1000 <br /> <br /> <br />.00 <br /> <br />2000 H D J F YAW ~ J A 8 Q N D J f W A M J J A 8 <br />ACTUAL 1986 AND PROJECTED 1981 <br /> <br />PROJECTED OPERATION 1981 <br />REASONABLE MAXIMUM CRYSTAL RELEASE~ <br /> <br />_en <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />a <br /> <br />MOST PROBABLE RELEASES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />a <br /> <br />REASONABLE MINIMUM RE..EASES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />- - - - - ~ III r - - <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />a <br />ONDJFMAMJJASO <br /> <br />10 <br />
