<br />Water Year 1984
<br />
<br />At the beginning of water year 198.4, the
<br />water surface elevation of lake MohoV6,
<br />which is impounded by Davis Dam, was 639
<br />feet, with on active storage of about
<br />1,600,000 acre-feet.
<br />
<br />During the winter months, the water level
<br />was gradually raised to approximately 6.45
<br />feet, with an active storage of 1,750,lX>O
<br />acre. feet by mid March 1984. The water
<br />level wos drawn down during April to
<br />elevation 636. During the month of
<br />August, lake Mahove reached 0 high
<br />~lev_aJion _of ~4, ~it_h_an_ a_ctiye. s!Q.rQge of_
<br />1,720,000 acre-feet. The reservoir ended
<br />the water year again at on approximate
<br />elevation of 639 feet with 1,600,00 acre.feet
<br />in active storage.
<br />
<br />lake Mohave releases were made to satisfy
<br />flood control requirements and downstream
<br />water use requirements, including
<br />diversions by The Metropolitan Water
<br />District. A small amount of reregulation
<br />occurred at lake Hovasu. During the
<br />water year, approximately 22,410,000 acre.
<br />feet were released at Davis Dam. Of that
<br />amount, approximately 18,751,000 acre.feet
<br />passed through the turbines for power
<br />production.

<br />Water Year 1985
<br />
<br />Under most probable inflow conditions the
<br />water level of lake Mohave is scheduled to
<br />reach on elevation of 641 feet by the end
<br />of January 1985 and vary around that
<br />elevation for the remainder of the water
<br />year. During,the water year a total of 14.7
<br />million acre-feet is scheduled to be
<br />released from lake Mohave to meet 011
<br />downstream and flood control
<br />requirements. Of that total, approximately
<br />13.4 million acre.feet is scheduled to pass
<br />through the powerplant and 1.3 million
<br />acre. feet to bypass it.
