Abstract/Description or Keywords This is an update to the Trout Creek water supply study conducted in 1973, due to an inquiry into the possibility of increasing storage within the basin. A monthly routing model was used which required a schematic of runoff into the reservoirs and diversions, as well as minimum reservoir outflows, reservoir storage availability, annual demands at all diversions, a priority list of diversion, and sub-basin runoff data. Two separate model runs were conducted: Run 1 - Existing system of storage; Run 2 - Existing system of storage plus proposed additional storages. Results found that the system would be viable with the additions of the new storage requirements, if the Irrigation District was willing to accept the estimated shortages outlined in the report.
