<br />ABPIDLL - Febru. inflow was above avera. (118 percent) The <br />precipitation during February was above average (138 percent). The <br />snowpack in the Gunnison basin is currently about 133 percent of <br />average. This all adds.up to a slightly above average runoff that <br />is expected this year ( about 106 percent of average). <br /> <br />Releases from Crystal are currently 650 cfs and there are no <br />diversions through the Gunnison tunnel. The storage at Blue Mesa <br />at the end of December was 579,300 at elevation 7489.77. This was <br />0.23 feet under the target elevation of 7490. Releases will be <br />increased from 650 to 1,300 cfs range during March. The releases <br />will also be increased to 1900 cfs in April. During the Aspinall <br />Operation meeting to be held April 19th at 12:30 pm. in Grand <br />Junction, Colorado, a pIan for the spring and summer release <br />pattern will be developed. <br /> <br />IIAVAJO February inflow into Navajo were above norma 1 <br />(209 percent), and precipitation was about average (99 percent). <br />The snowpack in the San Juan Basin is currently about 126 percent <br />of average.
