Chart 4/ Morrow Point Reservoir

Morrow Point Reservoir was essentially full
during water year 1974. On September 30, \973,
the reservoir contained 115,000 acre-feet of active
storage at elevation 7,158 feet. Its inflow is
extensively controlled by the larger Blue Mesa
Reservoir which is upstream.

Morrow Point Reservoir will normally be
operated at or near full capacity regardless of the
amount of snowmelt runoff. (Chart 4)
