O~1616 . . . project area. In the supplemental studies the analysis for the same month on a daily basis indicated that the flow on SOme days was in excess of the usable quantities. This excess had to be bypassed, and resulted in a larger spill and bypass to John Martin Reservoir. (3) Storable Flow Distribution The available space in the joint use (sediment and irrigation) pool was used in the operation studies for storing irrigation water. The capacity used for storing irrigation water was 19,500 acre-feet since this is the average unsedimented space in the joint use pool during the 75-year repayment period. ~he Model Account's share of; the irrigation pool is limited to one filling o~ its 6,000 acre-foot capacity during any single water year beginning November 1st and ending October 31st, and the total irrigation pool is limited to one filling of its 20,000 acre-foot capacity during the same one-year period. The storable flow during the nonirrigation season is credited one-third to the Model Account, and two-thirds to the Project Account. During the irrigation season the Project Account stores all flows between the irrigation release requirement and 300 c.f.s. until it has been filled, and the Model Account stores any flows storable under the Model right other than that being stored in the Project Account. When the Model Account has been filled, the storable flows that otherwise would be credited to the Model Account will be stored in the Project Account until it is filled. During any period when John Martin Reservoir ,is spilling all flows in excess of the irrigation release requirement and the amount being stored in the irrigation pool may be stored in the available joint use capacity of Trinidad Reservoir. 4
