<br />OUTFLOW
<br />
<br />At the beginning of Water Year 1974, the
<br />level of Lake Mohave was 632 feet with an active
<br />storage of 1,4 I 2,000 acre-feet. During the winter
<br />months the level was raised to about 642 feet by
<br />the middle of March and maintained between that
<br />level and 638 feet through April. The high level
<br />of Lake Mohave was 642 feet with an active
<br />storage of 1,667,000 acre-feet on June 14 which
<br />is about the beginning of the heavy irrigation
<br />season. The level was drawn down during the
<br />summer months to elevation 63 I feet with an
<br />active storage of 1,384,000 acre-feet at the end
<br />of the water year.
<br />Releases from Lake Mohave were made
<br />monthly to satisfy downstream requirements with
<br />a small amoun t of reregulation by Lake Havasu.
<br />There were 8,913,700 acre-feet released at Davis
<br />Dam during the water year, all of which was passed
<br />through the turbines for power production.
<br />(Chart 8)
<br />September 14, ]974, a flash f100d 24 miles
<br />below Hoover Dam destroyed a recreational
<br />development in Eldorado Canyon on Lake Mohave.
<br />Operations of Lakes Mead and Havasu were
<br />adjusted to maintain a stable water surface on Lake
<br />Mohave and thereby assist the National Park
<br />Service in its search and recovery efforts. Normal
<br />reservoir operation was resumed October 16,
<br />1974.
