<br />Water Year 1991 <br /> <br />Releases are projected to remain rdatively constant this fall <br />and winter as the Wyoming Game and Fish Department <br />conducts tests on the effectiveness of artificial spawning beds <br />for kokanee salmon. These spa\\11ing beds were constructed <br />in the river just dovms(ream of the dam as part of the <br />mitigation package for the Seedskadee Project. Releases <br />should a"'rage about 900 cubic feet per second through the <br />fan and winter months depending upon fan rainstorms. <br />Releases at this level should provide an appropriate <br />drawclown for the next runoff season. These releases not only <br />provide greater benefits to the fishery but also iropro", the <br />water quality of the cher for dovm.stream municipal and <br />industrial uses. <br /> <br />Since the mean annual inflow of 1.2 million acre-feet far <br />exceeds the storage capacityof345,OOOacre-feet. there is little <br />chance that the reser",ir will not fill during water year 1991. <br />In order to minimize the high releases that occur in the spring <br />and to ensure that the reservoir fills, it will be drawn do'WIl. to <br />an appropriate le",lthis winter, probably to miniroum pool <br />elevation (6463 feet) which corresponds to a ",lume of 93,000 <br />acre-feet. <br /> <br />ACTUAL STORAGE 1990 <br /> <br />THOUSA.ND ACRE-FEET <br />.00 <br /> <br /> / t---. <br /> " <br />""- / <br /> ~ ~ / <br /> , <br /> <br />300 <br /> <br />200 <br /> <br />100 <br /> <br />o <br />ONDJFMAMJJAS <br /> <br />PROJECTED RELEASES 1991 <br /> <br />THOUSAND ACRE-FEET <br />400 <br /> <br />-e IORO.
