All opera~ <br />t i ona 1 criteri a s imil ar to Run 5H except the maxi- <br />mum joint-use pool is 39,000 acre-feet and no <br />bypass releases 'are made to meet Highland and <br />N i nemi 1 e Canal deinands in any month. Compares the <br />effect of Trini.dad Project operation to that of <br />historical Model Reservoir operation. <br /> <br />Same as 5H39NOBP except compares the effect of <br />Trinidad Project operation to that of rehabilitated <br />Model reservoir operation. <br /> <br />5R39NOBP <br /> <br />5H39NOWBP <br /> <br />A combination of Runs 5H39 and 5HNOWBP. All opera- <br />tional criteria $imilar to Run 5H except the maxi- <br />mum joint-use pool is 39,000 acre-feet and no <br />bypass releases' are made to meet Highland and <br />Ninemi le Canal demands in winter (November-March) <br />months. Compares the effect of Tri ni dad Project <br />operation to that of historical Model reservoir- <br />operation. <br /> <br />, <br />Same as 5R39NOW~P except compares the effect of <br />Trinidad Project] operation to that of rehabilitated <br />Model reservoir operation. <br /> <br />The results of these simulations are shown in Table 5 and Table 6. <br /> <br />5R39NOWBP <br /> <br />The analysis of the results of these computer based simulations must be carried <br />out in the context of the objectives. of the Trinidad Project, the Trinidad <br />Project Operating Principles and the Arkansas River Compact. Article I of the <br />Operating Principles states in part ".;.The Project plan provides for: ...2. <br />Optimum beneficial use of the available]water for irrigation within the Project <br />area consistent with the protection: of downstream non-project rights..." <br />Article VI of the Operating Principles states in part that "...The primary. <br />objective of such reviews (of the Opera'ting Principles) will be obtaining opti- <br />mum beneficial use of water as conditions change, operating experience is <br />gained, and more technical data becomes available." Kansas Condition 4 states in <br />part "That 5 years after beginning operation of the Trinidad Reservoir for <br />irrigation purposes, the Operating Principles be reviewed to determine the <br />effect, if any, the operation has had ion other Colorado and Kansas water users <br />and the Pri nc i p 1 es amended as necessary'. II <br /> <br />It is clear from these provisions! that the Trinidad Project is to be <br />operated to provide the greatest benefit within Project area as can be <br />accomplished without injuring downstream water users; that the Operating <br />Principles were intended to provide 'the direction necessary to obtain the <br />optimum benefit without injury to the downstream users; and that through <br />the revi ew process, the Operating: Pri nci p 1 es are to be amended, as <br />necessary, to provide optimum benefits within the Project area and prevent <br />i nj ury to downstream water users.: Nowhere in either the Operating <br />Principles or the Project history ;:s there any suggestion that downstre.am <br />users are entitled to any water! supply benefits from the Project. <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />
