A Better Time On The Pecos

The recent heavy rains there helped:

The Carlsbad Project Supply on June 1st was 112,107 acre-feet (reduced to Brantley reservoir). The Project Supply was supplemented by significant rainfall that occurred in the Pecos Basin over the period of May 22-25, 2014. The forecast Project Supply for July 15, 2014 is 113,194 acre-feet, which is 38,194 acre-feet more than the Pecos Settlement’s July 15th Target Supply of 75,000 acre-feet. Accordingly, there is no augmentation pumping required for this forecast period. Additionally, CID in May released roughly 17,000 acre feet to the Pecos River below Avalon Dam to fulfill the terms of the Pecos Settlement. This delivery volume is ISC-owned CID water rights which are delivered to the state line in years with ample surface water supplies such as 2014.
