There were 2070 af net San Juan-Chama <br />(SJ-C) losses. as shown in Table 2. There were 5820 af of diversions through <br />Azotea Tunnel this month. <br /> <br />There was a total of 1450 af of Natural (RG) released from Heron. of which 140 <br />AF was seepage. There was 7270 AF of SJ-C water released from Heron. <br /> <br />There was 1.46 inches of precipitation at Heron Reservoir. which is 162% of the <br />June (running) average of 0.90 inches. The monthly computations for Heron <br />Reservoir are summarized in Tables 1-3. <br /> <br />From El Vado. 13.117 AF was released by Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District <br />(MRGCD) to pay back the City of Albuquerque (The City) in Abiquiu for water <br />borrowed for irrigation.
