. . . down to elevation 6861.10 ft. (82,501 AF) by December 31, 1992. The reservoir will continue to decline through mid-March as SJ-C water is moved to Abiquiu Reservoir and will sUPPfement the natural flow for a total release of approximately 280 ft Is. A summary of El Vado Reservoir operations can be found on page 16. During 1992, a total of 7,105 AF of stored water was available in El Vado Reservoir for potential use by the Six Southern Pueblos on their prior and paramount water rights lands. The Pueblos made no call for such water in 1992. Abiauiu Reservoir Abiquiu Dam and Reservoir is a u.S. Corps of Engineers facility, and Public Law 97-140 authorized storage of up to 200,000 AF of SJ-C water at Abiquiu Reservoir. Adjustments for sediment reduced the available storage allocations to 188,267 AF in 1992. SJ-C releases from or stored in Abiquiu Reservoir are shown on Table 8 (page 8). The accounting of SJ-C water by entity is included in the Abiquiu Reservoir section of the supporting material, on page 26. The SJ-C content at the end of the year was 124,285 AF. Nambe Falls Reservoir The Decem~er 31, 1991 storage content of 1,917 AF resulted in a bypass of 5.0 ft /s being released from January to late February, and 4.0 ft3/s into mid-March, which maximized conservation storage. The reservoir did fill and spill on April 16. The reservoir spilled continually from April 16 throug~ July 14, and a record spill discharge was set on May 24 of 93 ft Is. The reservoir content began dropping in mid-July as irrigation releases were performed at the request of the pojoaque Valley Irrigation District. The reservoir continued to drop throughout the summer as irrigation demands persisted, and dry conditions prevailed. The reservoir reached its lowest point of the year on October 13 at e1ev. 6810.64 (1,228 AF). Nambe Falls Reservoir ended the year on December 31, 1992 at 1,755 Af at elevation 6821.82 ft. A summary of the reservoir operation is shown on Table 5 (page 5), and the return flow credits are accounted for in Tables 6, 7, and 8 (pages 6-8). San Juan-Chama-Water at otowi SJ-C water used above otowi is shown on Table 7 (page 7) and SJ-C water at otowi is shown on Table 8 (page 8). Cochiti Reservoir Cochiti Dam and Reservoir is a u.S. Corps of Engineers facility and PUblic Law 88-293 authorizes the establishment of a permanent recreational pool in Cochiti Reservoir to the extent of a total of 1,200 surface acres. The Santa Fe River arm of the reservoir, known as the wetlands area, is recognized as part of the total authorized iii
