<br />) <br /> <br />Green Mountain Reservoir filled late in July according to plan. <br />Storage releases during August and September were used for <br />irrigation in western Colorado. . <br /> <br />Water supply forecasts for the system were generally excellent <br />again this year; for example, total supply on the North Platte <br />River System was within 5 percent of that forecast on April 1. <br /> <br />Irrigation deliveries to all projects were near to or above <br />normal. <br /> <br />Carter Lake pressure tunnel leakage was successfully corrected <br />by chemical grouting; permanency of the repair is yet to be <br />determined. <br /> <br />.Water available for Power Operation Skim on the Big Thompson <br />River was about 80 percent of average. <br /> <br />Schedules and coordination allowed the water level in Glendo <br />Reservoir to be successfully lowered late in September for <br />rehabilitation of fishery. <br /> <br />Power System load and generation was according to plan as <br />estimated in the 1971-72 A.O.P. <br /> <br />Generation was in excess of the load in March and June due to <br />movement of surplus water on the North Platte River System. <br /> <br />Carryover storage at the end of the water year was above normal <br />in all areas, and distribution of storage is excellent for <br />winter power production. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />---.J <br />
