Reservoir Evaooration and Precioitation <br /> <br />Tables 12 and 13 present the monthly average evaporation and precipitation at the four <br />weather stations near Project facilities. When an evaporation pan is not in service and a <br />reservoir is not completely ice-covered, the daily water surface evaporation is computed <br />using seasonal evaporation factors. Those factors are listed in Table 11. It is assumed <br />that there is no evaporation from a reservoir water surface when the reservoir is <br />completely covered by ice. <br /> <br />L. Flood Control Benefits <br /> <br />The operation of Pueblo Reservoir did not prevent any flood damage in the Arkansas River <br />basin in water year 2001. <br /> <br />The Corps of Engineers estimated that the operation of Ruedi Reservoir, the Boustead <br />Tunnel, and Turquoise Lake prevented $6,559,000 offlood damage in the Colorado River <br />basin. Table 14 shows the historic flood control benefits provided by Pueblo and Ruedi <br />Dams. <br /> <br />9 <br />
