Notes:
1. The minimum pool requirements at Los Padres and San Clemente Reservoirs are 91 acre-feet @ elevation 980 ft and 71 acre-feet @ elevation 515 ft, respectively.
2. Projected inflow for the December 2005 through March 2006 period is based on the expectation that unimpaired flows at San Clemente Dam will equal the 62.5% exceedance values for reconstructed unimpaired monthly historical flows (WY1902-2005) and represents the low end of normal range of water years.
3. Calculated inflow to San Clemente Reservoir is distributed 80% above Los Padres Dam and 20% between Los Padres and San Clemente Dams.
4. Estimated evaporation is based on average monthly reservoir surface area and gross monthly evaporation rates developed by US Army Corps of Engineers (1981).
5. Releases and diversions are consistent
