Viewed strictly from the inflow needs <strong>of</strong> the lower river, a lesser minimum flow at the<br />

spring run could possibly be acceptable if all <strong>of</strong> the remaining flow was routed to the<br />

base <strong>of</strong> the dam. Scenarios 9 through 11 involve apportioning different amounts <strong>of</strong> the<br />

total 31 cfs average flow between the spring run and the base <strong>of</strong> the dam, with no<br />

removal <strong>of</strong> water from the system. For example, scenario 9 provides 18 cfs at the spring<br />

outfall and 13 cfs at the base <strong>of</strong> the dam. Scenarios 10 and 11 involve incrementally<br />

reducing flow to the spring run and increasing flow at the dam, with final scenario<br />

leaving 10 cfs at the spring run and 21 cfs at the dam. <strong>The</strong> salinity distributions <strong>for</strong> these<br />

scenarios are illustrated in Figures 5-17 through 5-19.<br />

Moving additional water to the base <strong>of</strong> the dam increases the volume <strong>of</strong>
