<br />Water Year 1989 <br /> <br />It is projected that the water surface at Flaming Gorge will be <br />drawn down to about elevation 6,020 feet before the 1989 <br />spring runoff. This lower elevation drawdown is a result of <br />continued below average inflows. <br /> <br />Under a reasonable maximum inflow for the 1989 water year, <br />releases from Flaming Gorge will be maintained near 25 <br />percent of maximum powerplant capacity during the fall and <br />winter months with releases being increased to about 75 <br />percent for the remaining water year. Assuming the most <br />probable and minimum inflow conditions, releases will <br />average 25 percent of powerplant capacity for the majority of <br />the year in order to accommodate the expected inflow and <br />filling of the reservoir. Under tbe most probable operation the <br />total water year 1989 releases will be 840,000 acre-feet with a <br />lotal unregulated inflow of 1,380,000 acre-feet <br /> <br />FLAMING GORGE STORAGE <br /> <br />1000 ACAE-FEE1 <br />.... <br /> <br />3000. <br /> <br /> <br />2000 <br /> <br />1000 <br /> <br />o <br />o N D ~ F M A M J J A 8 0 N D J F MAW J J A . <br />ACTUAL 1988 AND PROJECTED 1989 <br /> <br />PROJECTED OPERATION 1989 <br />REASONABlE MAXIMUM RELEASES <br /> <br />woOF' <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />MOST PROBABLE RELEASES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />REASONABLE MINIMUM RELEASES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />NDJFMAMJJASO <br /> <br />8 <br />
