Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES Colorado River Runoff Holds Hope for Normal Storage A forecast of as 9 million Page Three FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1965 acre-fe- et the most likely runoff of elevation 5,908 feet due to continued maximum power production. At this level the reservoir would be 305 feet deep at the dam. Water released through the Flaming Gorge generators is also released through the Glen Canyon generators (with any excess above turbine capacity released through the gates) in order to keep Lake Mead above the minimum generating elevation of 1,083 feet during the critical low-flowinter season. Providing the runoff keeps pace with the forecast, the reservoir would be raised to about elevation 5,933 with water content of 891,000 acre-feduring July and August. Navajo Reservoir stood at elevation 5,943 feet on January 1, of water with 393,000 acre-fein storage. The level of the reservoir must be lowered to about of storage by 200.000 acre-fe1 to keep the April April through July runoff from flooding work in progress on the diversion tunnel inlet for the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project. By the latter part of May, the reservoir level will rise rapidly to 400,000 acre-feagain granting that the forecast runoff materializes and will remain above that level during the summer months. Lake Mead dropped below its rated operating head last spring when it was decided to fill Lake Powell to its minimum power pool so that generation at the Glen Canyon Powerplant could begin on schedule last Septem- Senator to Seek Benefits for Vets Senator Wallace F. Bennett said today he will join with Senator Leverett Salton-sta- ll to ask ;:or legislation authorizing wartime benefits under certain circumstances for peacetime veterans and their dependents. Senator Bennett said the bill applies to veterans who serve in areas of the world in which armed conflict exists during periods when the United States is not engaged in a formally declared war. This will enable veterans of such action as the Viet Nam conflict to gain desired benefits, the Utahn said.

Reclamation officials leaned heavily on the if in their statement, explaining that many factors could cause drastic changes in a forecast based only on above average precipitation this early in the water year. The forecast of 9 million acre-feis merely the most likely April-Jul- y runoff to be expected provided precipitation during the rest of the whiter and early spring hold up to the long-teraverage. There is about an even chance of a runoff on the Colorado River of somewhere between 7,300,000 and 10,700,000 acre-fee- t during the snowmelt season, with 9 million being the best forecast at the present time. Should the 9 million acre-feof runoff actually occur on schedule, then Reclamation officials are confident Lake Mead could be returned to its rated power elevation of 1,123 feet sometime during July. This is 35 feet higher than its present level. If the present forecast actually materializes into 9 million acre-fee- t of water during the April-Jul- y season, indicating a total Colorado River runoff of about 12,800,000 acre-feduring 1965, the following circumstances would appear reasonable as far as operations of the Colorado River Storage Project reservoirs et m nth et w et et de-ressi- on, ; et et , et million-American- s et above-avera- ge acre-fee- et et If Its 4-8-464 et world f ; news in fcus i I 'r . 1 I i mild-to-mediu- ; m I |
