Results of the simulations <br />generally indicate that one large reservoir may be able to regulate <br />streamflow in the White River and to maintain minimum streamflow <br />requirements more effectively than two or three smaller reservoirs. <br /> <br />-i" <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />;iiL{i~ <br />
