<br />changes will depend strongly on temperature patterns for the next <br />couple weeks, but we believe that releases will remain at 24,000 <br />cfs or above through July and above 20,000 cfs throughout the <br />summer. Lake Powell inflows are currently at about 80,000 cfs <br />and we expect the lake to be nearly full by mid-July. Updates to <br />this writeup will be made frequently to provide the most accurate <br />information to interested parties. <br /> <br />For the next year or two, releases to safely control the spring <br />runoff are expected to control the annual release volume from <br />Lake Powell. Further information on Glen Canyon and other <br />mainstem Colorado River dams can be obtained from our website at <br />www.uc.usbr.gov. <br /> <br />The Colorado River Management Work Group meetings to discuss the <br />1998 Annual Operating Plan for the entire Colorado River are <br />continuing--our next meeting is scheduled for 9:30 am, June 20, <br />1997, at McCarren Airport in Las Vegas, NV. Final language for <br />the 1998 AOP will be discussed and a technical work committee <br />will be reinstated to continue the modeling of surplus and <br />shortage options for future reservoir operations.
