<br />) <br /> <br />HIGHLIGHTS OF 1972 OPERATION <br /> <br />Carryover storage reserves in all areas were well above normal <br />at the beginning of the water year. <br /> <br />Winter precipitation was generally normal or better in all areas <br />except the eastern slope of Colorado. <br /> <br />The spring was warm with subnormal precipitation and above normal <br />reservoir inflows until early April. <br /> <br />There were extensive operational planning and coordination efforts <br />relative to the movement of surplus waters on the North Platte <br />River System. <br /> <br />Cool weather and subnormal inflows generally occurred from early <br />April until late May. <br /> <br />Boysen Reservoir drawdown was limited to enhance spring fish <br />spawning, with an accompaning loss in power revenue of over $5,000. <br /> <br />Excess waters on the North Platte River System were temporarily <br />stored in May to assist in repairs at Kingsley Dam, which resulted <br />in considerable bypass.of Fremont Canyon Powerplant. <br /> <br />Surplus water on the North Platte River System was successfUlly <br />stored and moved to Nebraska as a result of forecasts and opera- <br />.tional planning. <br /> <br />Reservoir inflows peaked and receded sharply early in June following <br />a period of rapid warmup. <br /> <br />April-July snowmelt runoff was generally normal or less throughout <br />the system except at Boysen Reservoir. <br /> <br />Boysen Reservoir filled and spilled in June with above-normal run- <br />off; carryover storage was normal. <br /> <br />Lake Granby filled to 98 percent of capacity (530,000 acre-feet) <br />in July according to plan, with normal pumping from Willow Creek. <br /> <br />Seminoe Reservoir filled to 95 percent of capacity (950,000 acre- <br />feet) in July according to plan and without spill. <br /> <br />Buffalo Bill Reservoir filled with spill early in July; carryover <br />storage was above normal. <br /> <br />1 <br />
