<br />0~""1'" <br />441 i <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />1.1 Background and Relevance <br /> <br />The Great Plains Reservoir system, located in Kiowa county in <br />southeastern Colorado (Figure 1-1), has been recognized as <br />having many potential recreational benefits. Such benefits may <br />accrue through multiple-purpose recreation development obtained <br />in concert with continued agricultural usage for irrigation <br />water storage and delivery. <br /> <br />This report addresses the Great Plains Reservoirs Engineering <br />Hydrology. Its purpose is to provide a review of the Great <br />Plains Reservoirs system, its hydrology and operations, and <br />evaluations directed to alternate future multiple-purpose <br />operations. The report seeks to answer the following questions: <br /> <br />o How much water is required? <br />o Which reservoir combination is best? <br />o What kinds of beneficial activities can occur? <br /> <br />1.2 Computer-Aided Planning Approach <br /> <br />The computer-aided planning (CAP) approach is intended help <br />communicate the analysis process and permit incorporation of <br />interest group preference information. That is, CAP provides a <br />means for people to learn what is physically possible and to <br />incorporate their valuations of the different aspects of the <br />reservoirs' operation. Through use of interactive computing and <br />understandable graphics displays, CAP provides the means for <br />people to learn what can be obtained from the reservoirs - what <br />the physical limitations are to alternate inflows and storage <br />limits plans - and the tradeoffs resultant between different <br />objectives. <br /> <br />1.3 Scope of Engineering Hydrology Study <br /> <br />Engineering hydrology addresses the water supply inputs to the <br />Great Plains Reservoirs system, and the storage level, water <br />quality, and release flow responses resultant from a specified <br />operating policy. <br /> <br />This Engineering Hydrology report presents results of <br />investigations of each aspect of the Great Plains Reservoirs <br />hydrologic characteristics - the inflows, storage basins, water <br />quality, water rights and historic releases. <br /> <br />Very little new basic data was developed as part of this study. <br />Emphasis was placed on using existing data to the extent <br />possible and appropriate. A substantial amount of the <br />information on historic inflows and reservoir characteristics <br /> <br />1 <br />
