Figure 11. Average instream flow shortage for each FERC alternative for Kingsley Dam re-licensing (supplemental revised draft environmental impact statement (SRDEIS), measured using the 1994 USFWS wet/average and dry instream flow recommendations with and without pulse flows (M. Butler, USFWS, personal communication). The data is from the Opstudy model and is based upon an annual baseline shortage of 358,200 acre-feet at Grand Island calculated from weighted monthly average flows. Each monthly flow value was either compared against the average or dry instream flow recommendation on a yearly basis. Pulse flow targets are the average pulse targets for the months of February/March and May/June.
