<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br />Darn in the reservoir, in surcharge, and in bank storage provides for controlled <br /> <br /> <br />flows in the river at Yuma, which combined with seepage and drainage, allows a <br /> <br /> <br />continuous live stream serving recreational and fish and wildlife purposes. On a <br /> <br /> <br />few occasions each year, higher daily flows below Laguna caused by rainstorms or <br /> <br /> <br />user rejected water orders are used to maintain sufficient river channel capacity. <br /> <br /> <br />This occasional practice reduces channel maintenance expense without impairment <br /> <br /> <br />of water conservation or power production. <br /> <br />Yuma Desalting Plant <br /> <br />Current plans for the Yuma Desalting Plant for fiscal year 1992 are to complete <br /> <br /> <br />testing of all the physical features of the plant during the first part of the year, after <br /> <br /> <br />which the plant will be brought up to one-third capacity and operated at that rate. <br /> <br /> <br />for the remainder of the year. Provisions of Minute 242 of the IBWC will continue <br /> <br /> <br />to be met by additional releases from storage to make up for the water bypassed <br /> <br /> <br />from the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation district. The water produced from the Yuma <br /> <br /> <br />Desalting Plant will be used to reduce the additional releases required. <br /> <br />WATER YEAR 1992 DETERMINATIONS <br /> <br />The AOP provides guidance regarding reservoir storage and release conditions <br /> <br /> <br />during the upcoming year, based upon congressionally mandated and judicially <br />
