<br />2292 <br /> <br />A. Inflow FactorS: <br /> <br />1. John Martin storage: The Amity Mutual Co. has established a <br />50,000 AF storage right in John Martin Reservoir as part of the <br />winter Storage Program. This is the volume Amity can take to <br />John Martin Reservoir should they choose to do so and would be <br />accomplished during the winter diversion season. Given the <br />35-year historical flows are used as input to the model, the <br />John Martin storage takeout can be applied at any specified <br />level for a simulation run. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />2. Flow to Great Plains Reservoirs before John Martin: It is of <br />interest to examine inflow sequences where the Amity Co. <br />diversion policy places priority on diversions to the Great <br />Plains system prior to storage in John Martin Reservoir. This <br />factor specifies the amount to be diverted to the Great Plains <br />system. <br /> <br />3. Direct Flow: Direct flow is water obtained from some source <br />other than that historically available from the Kicking Bird <br />Canal. The annual amount is input and GPSIM distributes this by <br />month using the historic average monthly percentages. <br /> <br />4. Kicking Bird Flow Multiplier: This factor reflects' the <br />extent of transit losses between the Kicking Bird gage and the <br />junction with the Satanta Canal. For example, a factor of 0.84 <br />says that 16% of the Kicking Bird flow is lost in transit and <br />that 84% reaches the Satanta Canal junction. other loss rates <br />may be used, perhaps reflecting canal seepage loss recovery by <br />canal lining or other treatment. It is believed that the 16 % <br />loss rate is low. <br /> <br />5. Connecting Canal MUltiplier: This factor reflects the extent <br />of transit losses in the Satanta Canal or other canal <br />connecting the reservoirs (e.g. possible canal from Nee Gronda <br />to Queen Reservoir). <br /> <br />B. Release Flow Factors: <br /> <br />1. Historical Release Multiplier: This factor is used to <br />establish the fraction of historical release flows to be <br />targeted as outflows from the simulation. GPSIM is configured <br />to deliver the target releases if the storage constraints will <br />not be violated. A factor value of less than 1.0 may be used to <br />reflect ownership of some portion of the water right. <br /> <br />C. Storage Factors: <br /> <br />1. Sequencing: A number of possible multiple reservoir <br />configurations exist depending on how diversions into and <br />releases from the reservoirs are made. There are some physical <br />limits to the operations as water must drain by gravity flow in <br /> <br />16 <br />
