The forecast presumes that precipitation during the remainder of the runoff season will be normal There will be no immediate of water in the Colorado River system below shortage reservoirs major storage despite the current drought and substantially below normal runoff Although most reservoirs will receive less than normal runoff, they will be as planned to meet water commitments in the Colorado River Basin, the Bureau of Reclamation noted Lake Powell is expected to rise from its present elevation, 3,651 feet, about three feet to elevation 3,654 above mean sea level by June. This would be about 21 feet lower than the e high reached in 1975. Releases from Glen Canyon Dam from March to September, 1977 will be 4 2 million acre-fee- t with a water yeai operated all-tim- total for 1977 of 8 2 million Lake Powell acre-fe- et should remain above elevation 3,647 feet through the summer months and then drop slowly during the fall and winter. Prior to the 1978 spring runoff, the lake should be about elevation 3,641 1977, Fon-tenel- Reservoir. Releases from Flaming Gorge should be about 2 3 million acre-feduring water year 1977. With the low forecast, Flaming Gorge should continually be drawn down to elevation 5,985 feet by the end of September, 1977, and remain at about 5,985 feet through the fall and winter months prior to the 1978 spring et runoff. Blue Mesa Reservoir on the Gunnison River is expected to 280,000 acre-fe- et of inflow, or 36 of the runoff of 30 of normal Releases from the lake through the spring and summer months should be 600 cubic feet per long- time average The lake should reach elevation 7,475 above mean sea level with a usable content of 473,000 acre-fee- t Morrow Point Reservoir, immediately downstream from Blue Mesa Dam, should remain near full at 117,000 acre-fee- t throughout the year Crystal Reservoir, downstream from Morrow Point Dam, started to fill March 14th. It will reach elevation 6,710 on or about March 22nd and then rise to the maximum elevation of 6,755. The primary function of this reservoir is to variable releases from Morrow Point to an even flow in the Gunnison River downstream. On the San Juan River, Navain Lake should receive a second With the 200,000 acre-femean forecast, the lake level should reach elevation 6,045 feet above mean sea level during June Lake Meads present elevation is 1,192 feet above mean sea level, or about nine feet higher than a year ago The reservoir is 29 feet below the top of the raised spillway gates at Hoover Dam At present, it contains 21 8 million acre-fee- t of available storage or 84 of its capacity. Based on the present forecast, Lake Mead is expected to decline six feet to about elevation 1,186 feet above mean sea level by the end of LICORICE CAN BE ENEMY Eating excessive of licorice each day can cause a rise m blood pressure If one already has high blood pressure, licorice could make it worse A chemical related to cortisone is present in licorice, which brings about a loss of potassium and a retention of sodium This causes the body to retain liquid and produces an increase m weight and a strain on the heart The effect of large amounts of licorice on the body can be intensified when taking certain drugs such as digitalis and diuretics feeling Any of these symptoms may come and go and may not even be severe Unfortunately, most heart attack victims ignore these signs for hours before getting help More than half of heart attack fatalities occur outside the hospital and 57 within the first hour If you recognize the signals described above, stop whatever you are doing and sit or lie down Call the Emergency Rescue Service in your community and your physician VACAR0M towo?
