<br />19G2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Project made available 247,800 acre-feet of water to the <br />Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District (District) during <br />water year 1988. The District purchased 79,494 acre-feet of the <br />water made available to them. The District called for 69,360 acre-feet <br />of water duri ng the year. The Project water was also reduced <br />by 16,160 acre-feet of evaporation. By the end of September, the <br />District had 17,984.93 acre-feet of 1987-1988 water and <br />71,877 .27 acre-feet of carryover water. Of the 69,360 acre-feet of <br />Project releases, 4,486 acre-feet was for municipal and industrial use. <br />The Project water released from Pueblo Reservoir is shown on exhibit 20. <br /> <br />K. Reservoir Storage Allocation Q~ <br /> <br />Table 9 presents the reservoir storage alloc.ation data for the <br />Project's five reservoirs. <br /> <br />L. Reservoir _Evaporation and Precipitati~~ <br /> <br />Table 10 and Table 11 present the monthly average evaporation and <br />precipitation from the four weather stations in the Fryingpan-Arkansas <br />Project System. The daily water surface evaporation is computed using <br />the factors during periods when the evaporation pan is not in service <br />and the reservoir is less than 100 percent ice covered. No evaporation <br />is assumed to occur during periods of 100 percent ice cover. <br /> <br />M. f.lood ~ontrol Benefits <br /> <br />During water year 1988, there were no occurrences in which <br />Pueblo Dam was used to control flow in the Arkansas River. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />No flood control operation occurred on Rued; Reservoir this year. <br /> <br />Table 12 shows the flood control benefits received on both Ruedi and <br />Pueblo Dams. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />16 <br />
