Section 98-5-9 - Determination of reservoir yields through a drought with a two percent chance of occurrence in any one year

(a) The following information shall be used by the director in determining the yield of a reservoir through a drought with a two percent chance of occurrence in any one year:

(1) The reservoir analysis as part of the basin system in which the reservoir lies, using one of the following:

(A) All available climatic and hydrologic information for the period of record; or

(B) if the climatic and hydrologic information does not include the drought period of 1952 through 1957, estimation of the climatic and hydrologic information for the drought period of 1952 through 1957; and

(2) the conservation storage water supply capacities of the reservoirs in the basin system determined by capacities anticipated to be available after accounting for sedimentation in the reservoirs.

(b) The reservoir yield may be recalculated upon the office's receipt of information that could influence the yield calculations.
