<br />LAKE POWELL <br />(COWRADO RIVER) <br /> <br />Water Year 1994 <br /> <br />Lake Powell, which is impounded by Glen Canyon Dam, is <br />operated as part of the Colorado River Storage Project <br />(CRSP) in accordance with governing compacts and laws to <br />provide conservation storage, river regulation, power <br />generation, recreation, and fISh and wildlife enhancement. <br />Interim minimum and maximum release rates and controlled <br />fluctuations were established below Glen Canyon Dam in <br />1991. The'interim alteria are intended to reduce the effects <br />of power operations on downstream natural resources until <br />a Record of DecisioD is made OD the G leD CanyoD <br />EDvironmeDtal Impact StatemeDt. <br /> <br />ACTUAL RELEASES 1984 <br /> <br />MlWOII CU8IC MITUI <br />1_ <br /> <br />1'IIOI&UID ACR....ar <br />1_ <br /> <br /> 0-< / ....... \ <br /> '- <br /> / ...... / <br />./ <br /> <br />1100 <br /> <br />1211 <br /> <br />1000 <br /> <br />8'1 <br /> <br />lOG <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />_ loa <br />'# ~04 <l'tJ .; ~ " ., ...;. ~+ tf' ., " <br /> <br /> <br />Lake Powell began water year 1994 at elevatioD 1116.3 <br />meters (3662.5 feet) with a live coDteDt of 23,211 millioD <br />cubic meters (18,817,000 acre-feet) only Tl perceDt of <br />capacity.
