<br />I~ <br /> <br />~::.. - <br />,- <br /> <br />,"= <br /> <br />,_n_~ <br /> <br />weekend if no major inflows occur, more on this later. The Amity stored <br />27,000 A.F. during the Pueblo Winter Storage season, which ended on <br />March 15; this is before the 35% was transferred to the Transit Loss <br />Account. The Fort Lyon has 7,000 A.F. in its John Martin account stored <br />both during the Winter Water season and some 2.000 or so that was stored <br />in Meredith and then transferred to John Martin. <br />The Consolidated Canal has about 4,000 A.F. in its account moved <br />down during the Winter Water season. Trle breakdown today or actually <br />the morning of the 9th: <br /> <br />Total Contents <br />Kansas Account <br />Transit Loss Account <br /> <br />172645 A.F. Conservation Pool <br />42406A.F. AIi Other Accounts <br />13928 A.F. Permanent Pool <br /> <br />6495 A.F. <br />57550 A.F. <br />12625 A.F. <br /> <br />The remainder is the Winter Water accounts <br /> <br />37641 A.~'. <br /> <br />There was a release from Pueblo in the middle of. April-when "about- <br />13.000 A.F. was evacuted from the Joint Use Pool; this will be addressed <br />.lat~r in the program: The release began at about 500 cfs and- was <br />jncreased in hourly increments until" the total out of Pueblo was 5.000. <br />This was maintain~d fQr about a day and a hall' then cut back. to about 600 <br />cfs in 1,000 cfs per hour cuts. There was a now of about 5,600 at A v"ndale. <br />The Corps has a limit of 6,000 c.f.s. There was some bank erosion <br />mainly in the Baxter area, but we did not find any major out of channel <br />flow, this r~m was mainly to check the transit time studies and nood <br />routing model. The run went through quite a bit quicker than expected (24 <br />hours Puebio to La Juntc.. for example). And resulted in about 3.000 A.F. <br />getting to John Martin. Another release from Pueblo, from Winter Water <br />carry-over (Tommy will talk about this later) waS made last week at <br />about the same rate, we don't know how much came through La Junta <br />yet. as the drain-down has not completed, but a substantial now did get to <br />the Conservation Pool which would have been dry by now had it not been <br />for this run. <br />Howard and [did reach an agreement on the computation of the State <br />Line delivery which all the commissioners at least have seen. <br />We are looking forward to our new satellite system which is not in yet, <br />but as I understand, all the paper work is done. Tommy may speak on this <br />later, as he was one of the prime movers in getting this done. <br />The reported snowpack is stiH way over 100% and we got a little more <br />on Monday of this week. The Portland gage on Monday only had about 600 <br />c.f.s. natural, so it is yet to come. We are all a little anxious especially <br />above Puebio, as a very hot spell could mean trouble. and the longer the <br />melt waits to begin, the more tense we become. [ don't know if Mike or <br />Tom will agree but I would speculate we will store some in the "Flood <br />Pool" this year. This wll1 of course go to whomever would have gotten it if <br />it were not stored. In this case, John Martin. So the year for water looks <br />good, lots of snow and quite a bit of water in storage. It has been generally <br />damp to wet and cool to cold, so most farmers are a little late. <br />One other item I came across while I was getting this report ready that <br />I found interesting was the evaporation from John Martin last year was <br />over 26.000 A.F. one day last July it was at a rate of 150 d.s., we forget <br /> <br />57 <br />
