These losses are not expected to exceed 60 acre-feet in any year. <br /> <br />The exchange analysis has shown that the entire Keesee entitlement can <br />be exchanged upstream even in dry years such as 1977. Tbis report does not <br />address, however, other favorable exchange opportunities which might be available <br />via cooperative agreements or enhanced river management. Nor does this report <br />attempt to quantify maximum rates of exchange which can only be calculated <br />using complex river administration models. <br /> <br />-11- <br />
