<br />ADJUSTMENTS CAN ADD UP
<br />
<br />Consider the example of Colorado near Cisco.

<br />
<br />total
<br />
<br />total April-July Adjustment = 1231 kaf
<br />
<br />Of the April-July unimpaired (or natural) average of 4165 kaf, 1231 kaf or
<br />approximately 30 percent of that total is diverted or stored in reservoirs on
<br />the average (any given year likely will be different). A much smaller volume
<br />therefore would be expected actually to flow by the Cisco gauge from April 1
<br />to July 31 (the observed or regulated flow). A schematic illustrating these
<br />adjustments for the Cisco forecast is shown on the following page.
