<br />June through September. During normal years when "the Superior Canal and
<br />Courtland Canal (in Nebraska) are in operation, the return flows of seepage
<br />and surface irriga.tion runoff plus the natt..:ral flow pickup in the Republica.n
<br />Riv~r he low the Superior-Courtland Diversion Darn will meet this "".recommended
<br />flow. If it is possible throulJh l10rmdl re~iervoir operations to 'comply with
<br />the Qbove r8~Oillffiend~tions, the Bureau, as it has done in the past, will do
<br />so; however, during dry years \....hen the forecasted reasonable minimum inflows
<br />will not fill Harlan County Lake before the st<lrt"~ of the next ir~-igat:ion
<br />season, the available flows in the Republican Ri ver belovl Harlan County
<br />Dam plus a minimum release of 10 cubic feEt per second from Harlan County
<br />Lake are divcrtGd into the Courtland Canal to be stored in Lovewell Re~;ervoir.
<br />\~hcn this condition exists, the f.luv..' in the RepublicilD River belcw Superior,
<br />Ncb.raska, will be less than the 40 cubic feet per second t.hat was r'ecoTIlITlended.
<br />
<br />At the request of the Kansas-Forestry, Fish and Game Commission, the Kansas-
<br />Bostwick Irrigation District and the Bureau of Reclamation maintain, when it
<br />is possible, a flm... of 20 cubic feet per second into Lovewell ReservoiL' when
<br />th(~ Courtland Car..1l is in operation a.nd .the conserv2tion pool is below capa-
<br />ci.. ty. TlIi S l'€commended in flow provides excellent fishing 2XOtmg the canal
<br />inJe t to the reservoir. The seepage below Love,~'ell Dam in to \'/hi t.e Rock
<br />Crer~k mailLta i.ns a small live stream throughout Lhe year.
