<br />001997 <br /> <br />'1' <br />" <br /> <br />Using the data in the preceding table as the available water <br />supply, annual water operation studies were prepared reflecting use <br />on upstream tributaries, and the inflow to and the release of water <br />from the Navajo Reservoir for the years 1928-1956. Two water use <br />demand criteria were used in the water operation studies as follows: <br />Demand Criteria No.1 (in thousands of acre,.feet): <br /> <br />Demand <br />from <br />Trib. <br />Streams <br /> <br />Demand <br />from <br />Navajo <br />Reservoir <br /> <br />Total <br />Demand <br /> <br />Pine River Depletion - New Mexico <br />(authorized) <br />Pine River Depletion - Colorado <br />(authorized) <br />Weminuche Pass Depletion - Colorado <br />(authorized) <br />Initial Unit San Juan-Chama - New Mexico <br />Sub Total <br /> <br />1.4 <br /> <br />60.,5* <br /> <br />16.3* <br /> <br />103.9* <br />182.1 <br /> <br />182.1 <br /> <br />Navajo Project - New Mexico <br />Hammond Project - New Mexico <br />Navajo Reservoir Evaporation - New Mexico <br />El Paso Natural Gas - New Mexico <br />Bloomfield Irrigation - New Mexico <br />C.

Water operation study reflected annual <br />availability of water. <br />If demand on the available water supply tributary t~ the <br />Navajo Reservoir is limited in Colorado to the two authorized projects <br />(Pine River Project of 69,000 acres and Weminuche Pass), and if the <br />new water demands in New Mexico do not exceed the uses as listed in <br /> <br />the above schedule, the only shortage of supply would have occurred <br /> <br />- 7 - <br /> <br />J., <br /> <br />g~ <br /> <br />[; <br />" ,-~ ,; -"i. <br />a::' ~",:i:~;i,i", ;-~~:,~ <br />
