<br />9 <br /> <br /> <br />. 09 8'R~rquoise Lake <br /> <br />The total inflow to Turquoise Lake for the water year 1972 was very <br />near that predicted as the most probable in last year's report. The <br />Busk-Ivanhoe imports were 40 percent higher than predicted. and the <br />native flow was about 27 percent higher. However, the Homestake im- <br />ports were 38 percent less. and the project imports were 6 percent <br />less than predicted. The Homestake project did not import any water <br />during the spring and summer period. <br /> <br />The CF&I Steel Corporation's operation in Turquoise Lake was about as <br />anticipated. However. Pueblo Water Board and Homestake projeot drew <br />much more water out of storage than had been predicted. At the end of <br />the water year the Homestake project had 6,000 acre-feet in storage <br />and the Pueblo Water Board had none. The other ownerships were about <br />as predicted with the sale of project water being 20.000 acre-feet as <br />compared to 18,000 predioted. Total storage at the end of September <br />was 52.000 acre-feet compared to 66.000 acre-feet anticipated under <br />most probable oonditions. <br /> <br />Table 2 and exhibit 5 show the 1972 operation of Turquoise Lake. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
