The first 2 mi <br /> <br />(3.2 km) upstream from the dam on the south side was computed to lose <br />o. <br /> <br />13 ft3/s (0.37 m3/s) to the aquifer. Ground-water discharge to the <br /> <br />reservoir along the remainder of the shoreline was computed to be <br /> <br />3 3 3 3 <br />22 ft /s (0.62 m Is) resulting in . net gain of 9 ft Is (0.25 m Is) as <br /> <br />indicated in table 1. <br /> <br />The change in water-table altitude caused by the simulated reser- <br /> <br />voir pool at 4,404 ft (1,342 m) is shown on figure 5. The change.in <br /> <br />water-table altitude at Fort Morgan was computed to be about 1 ft <br /> <br />(0.3 m).
