Flow at the gaging <br />station Arkansas River near Portland was 1,660 cfs, as <br />compared to the long-term average of 2,441 cfs, Storage in <br />Turquoise, Twin Lakes, Pueblo, and John Martin reservoirs <br />totaled 111 % of normal as of the end of June, <br />Severe storms in the first part of June produced a <br />localized impact on the area extending from John Martin <br />Reservoir to the Kansas stateline and caused the initiation of <br />a short duration summer storage event in John Martin <br />Reservoir, Irrigation demand through June was substantial <br />as evidenced by the decrease in content of Pueblo <br />Reservoir (which dropped from 180,832 acre-feet on June 1 <br />to 165,827 acre-feet on June 30) and John Martin Reservoir <br />(which dropped from 157,894 acre-feet on June 1 to 147,534 <br />acre-feet on June 30), <br /> <br />Administrative/Manaaement Concerns <br />Division 2 (Arkankas Basin) staff held a meeting with <br />Water District 67 (Arkansas River from John Martin <br />Reservoir to the stateline) ditch company personnel on June <br />28, 2001 and discussed the operation of John' Martin <br />reservoir under the Arkansas River Compact and <br />subsequent operating plans and resolutions. This meeting <br />was very helpful to both Division 2 and the ditch company <br />staff in terms of better communicating operational <br />information, and identifying areas for improvement. One <br />important outcome was c;oordination with U,S, Army Corps <br />of Engineer's staff at John Martin Reservoir to provide <br />opportunity for weekend gate changes to be made to better <br />manage the ditch company's stored waters, <br /> <br />Public Use Impacts <br />Division 2 river operations staff successfully <br />coordinated with Pueblo County Search and Rescue to <br />facilitate a short-term reduction in release from Pueblo <br />Reservoir that enabled the completions of a search and <br />rescue mission while minimizing impact to water rights down <br />stream of the rescue effort, <br /> <br />ARKANS4S BASIN SV'S HSTORV <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />.IIn-lI2 JIn.r.o .iIr>.94"J0n.Q5 ......91 .lp97 JIn.tI3 Jln.99 Jen.Q) JInOI <br />"""""0'" <br /> <br />ARKANSAS RM:R tfl.
