Operation Scenarios:
1- Max diversion of 500 cfs and min of 100 cfs
2- Max diversion of 1000 cfs and min of 100 cfs
3- All flow diverted to LFCC with a max of 2000 cfs

Concluding RemarksFor this specific year (2001-hydrology) and given the model input conditions:
1- SW Operations impact its interaction with the groundwater system.
2- There is no significant difference in depletions between current operation of the LFCC as a drain and a maximum diversion between 500 cfs to 1000 cfs.
2- Operating the LFCC up to its maximum capacity (2000 cfs) provides the most efficient way to convey water to Elephant Butte because evapotranspiration losses are reduced.
