Redistribution of <br />excess water is the cornerstone for increasing operational <br />flexibility under full reservoir conditions. This section <br />describes the general concept upon which excess water will be <br />redistributed. Implied in this process is the fact that any <br />redistribution of excess water must yield an additional river <br />management benefit over and above that which would have <br />occurred if the timing and magnitude of the release had been <br />directed solely by a minimum flood control requirement <br />operation. <br /> <br />-28- <br />
