<br />LAKE MOHA VE <br />(COLORADO RIVER) <br /> <br /> <br />Water Year 1988 <br /> <br />At the beginning of water year 1988, the water surface <br />elevation of Lake Mohave, which is impounded by Davis <br />Dam, was 633.1 feet, with an active 'storage of approximately <br />1,436,000 acre-feel. . <br /> <br />During the winter months, the water level was gradually raised <br />to approximately 646 feet, with an active storage of about <br />1,785,000 acre-feet in the first part of March 1988. The water <br />level then gradually lowered during the remainder of March <br />and part of April. The reservoir reached elevation 642.4 feet <br />during the fll'st part of April 1988. During the remainder of <br />April and May, Lake Mohave fluctuated between an elevation <br />of 642 and 646 feet, with an active storage of approximately <br />1,754,000 acre-feet at the end of May. Lake Mohave was at <br />an elevation of about 643 feet at the end of June and at <br /> <br />ACTUAL RELEASES <br /> <br />WY 1988 <br /> <br />1000 cra <br />.. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br /> <br />NDJFMAMJJASO <br /> <br />approximately 635 feet by the end of July 1988. The reservoir <br />ended the water year at an elevation of 635.8 feet with <br />1,50;,000 acre-feet in active storage. ' <br /> <br />Lake Mohave releases were made to satisfy flood control <br />requirements and downstream water use requirements, <br />including diversions by The Metropolitan Water District of <br />Southern California (MWD) and by the Central Arizona <br />Project (CAP). A small amount of reregulation occurred at <br />Lake Havasu. During the water year, approximately <br />9,714,000 acre-feet was released at Davis Dam, all of which <br />passed through the turbines for power production. Of that <br />amount, 1,207,000 acre-feet was then pumped from Lake <br />Havasu by MWD and 490,000 acre-feet was pumped for the <br />CAP. <br /> <br />LAKE MOHAVE <br /> <br />Reservoir <br /> <br />Acre-feet <br /> <br />Elevation, feet <br /> <br />Maximum Storage <br />Rated Head <br />Minimum Power <br />Surface Area, full, <br />Reservoir Le'ngth, full ' <br /> <br />1,810,000 <br />1,188,000 <br />217,500 <br /> <br />647 <br />623 <br />570 <br />28,200 Acres <br />67 Miles <br /> <br />Powerplant <br /> <br />Number of Units <br />Total Capacity <br /> <br />5 <br />240,000 KW <br /> <br />17 <br />
