An even lower runoff forecast is avoided only by the presence of above normal snow accumulations in the high mountains.

"Roted head" is the lowest level at which water flowing through the turbines con drive the generators at their nameplate capacity. With normal rai nfall, it is expected that Lake Powell 's water surface should reach on all-time high in July at about elevation 3580 feet with a live storage of about 10,290,000 acre-feet. Planned releases from Lake Powell for water year 1969 ore about 8 . 8 million ocre­ feet.
