<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A computer model was used to project capacity and energy by simulating <br />reservoir operations on the Colorado River and its major tributaries. <br />Fifteen different water supply sequences, each 90 years in length, were <br />selected from the hydrologic record, modified by the projected depletions <br />and used for simulating reservoir operations. These fifteen sequences <br />differ only in that different hydrologic years are assumed to have occurred <br />in corresponding study years. In the first sequence, the hydrology record <br />beginning in 1906 was matched to the study year 1982. Subsequent sequences <br />arbitrarily lagged the hydrologic record by five years, such that; <br />Sequence 1 study year 1982 = hydrologic year 1906 <br />Sequence 2 study year 1982 = hydrologic year 1911 <br />Sequence 3 - study year 1982 = hydrologic year 1916 <br /> <br />Sequence 15 - study year 1982 = hydrologic year 1976. <br /> <br />17 <br />
