<br />Water Year 1988 <br /> <br />Blue Mesa powerplant will be operated to minImIze <br />powerplant bypasses at Crystal Dam, Assuming near average <br />inflow during water year 1988, a low elevation of 7,471 feet is <br />expected by the end of March with a maximum elevation of <br />7518 feet in July, <br /> <br />Morrow Point Reservoir will flucluate up. to its capacity <br />during the coming year, CrySlal Reservoir will operate at full <br />capacity to regulate the releases from Morrow Point and to <br />meet downstream requirements for fish habitat and diversions <br />through the Gunnison Tunnel. <br /> <br />With reasonable maximum inflows, releases from Crystal <br />Dam will be alleast 3,500 cfs and possibly higher, Assuming <br />near average inflow conditions, releases from Crystal <br />Reservoir will be at maximum powerplant capacity of 1,700 <br />cfs in addition to scheduled bypasses of up to 1,000 cfs, Under <br />reasonable minimum inflow conditions, releases will range <br />from 1,000 cfs to powerplant capacity of 1,700, <br /> <br />BLUE MESA STORAGE <br /> <br />1DOD ACRE.....EET <br />'0" <br /> <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />... <br />Q N D ~ F YAW J ~ A 8 0 N 0 J F W A W J J A 8 <br />ACTUIIl.. 1987 AND PROJECTED 1988 <br /> <br />PROJECTED OPERATION 1988 <br />REASONABLE MAXIMUM CRYSTAL RELEASES <br /> <br />1DOO eF8 <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />MOST PROBABLE RELEASES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />REASONAIllE MINIMUM RELEASES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.r ~__I'IlI..."1 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />NDJFMAMJJASO <br /> <br />10 <br />
