<br />is a dry year, the project water supplies will be inadequate for the irriga-
<br />tion of 79~600 acres in Mirage Flats, H & RW, Frencrunan Valley, Almena, and
<br />Farwell Irrigation Districts. Farwell and Mirage Flats also show u shortage
<br />under normal-year conditions. As in past years, the Mirage Flats and Almena
<br />Irrigation Districts plan to use water from private irrigation wells to sup-
<br />plement the project water supply. Other districts are encouraging their
<br />irrigators to drill wells for supplemental water supplies.

<br />During 1976, under all inflow forecast conditions, storage water will be in
<br />excess of project needs in Bonny Reservoir and Waconda Lake and will be
<br />available for sale to private irrigators or for other non-p~oject uses. Un-
<br />der nOl~al forecast conditions, excess storage will also be available for
<br />sale from Harry Strunk, Hugh Butler, Swanson, and Harlan County Lakes during
<br />July only.

<br />With dry-year forecasted inflows, the conservation pools of Merritt, Sherman,
<br />Bonny and Lovewell Reservoirs and Harry Strunk and Waconda Lakes will fill
<br />during 1976, Host probable forecasted inflows would also fill St",anson, Hugh
<br />Butler and Harlan County Lakes.

<br />Even with low pool levels in the reservoirs and inudeguate water supplies for
<br />irrigation of some project lands, the recommendations of various State agen-
<br />cies will be considered. As in the past, irrigation and reclamation districts
<br />will advise State agencies regarding aquatic weed control <3nd cana.l operations.
<br />The Bureau of Reclamation \'Jill continue to operate the l.-eservoirs and. other
<br />facilities under its jurisdiction in the best interests of all project func-
<br />tions and for the gl.-eatest public benefit whenever possible.
