<br />T ._J <br /> <br />4 & 5 were kept separate. Spill from Rides 1-3 were small in comparison to lhe <br />water orders and the daily changes in water orders. This would seem to <br />indicate that fluctuations are passed down lhrough Ride 4 (which is consistent <br />with uls conn-ol). Large precipitation events influenced water orders and spills. <br />This can be seen for the August 8, 1993 and September 15, 1994 time frames. <br />Water orders drop and spills increase during lhese events. <br /> <br />. Attachment D and E include lhe same analysis.as Attachment C. Attachment D <br />is for 1993 and Attachment E is for 1994. <br /> <br />. Attachment F is the analysis of the Savings potential from August to October <br />based on using CHECKS ONLY. The analysis was done by determining a <br />rule of operation of lhe Highline Canal for maximum water orders during lhe <br />inigation season (August-October only). The amount of spill required for <br />CHECKS ONLY was detennined by comparing the water orders from 1992- <br />1994 to lhe maximum water order limitation. The limitation was set high <br />enough to take care of ALL demands for inigation water during lhis time frame. <br />Future analysis will involve using a lower limitation in conjunction with <br />reservoir(s) ro handle lhe demand. <br /> <br />Main Points: <br /> <br />1992 <br /> <br />1993 <br /> <br />1994 <br /> <br />Avg. <br />of3 <br />Years <br /> <br />.
