compartment analyses. The first scenario was the SC base scenario (Figure 4-3). The

second scenario routed STA 3/4 inflows directly from the canal through the single

compartment reservoir before entering the STA. The second scenario is referred to as the

SC STA scenario (Figure 4-4).

Figure 4-3. Single Compartment Base Scenario Flow Diagram

 The SC base Scenario's long-term water balance for the 36 year average of the

area, inflows, and outflows were calculated (Figure 4-3). The total average inflow to the

EAASR was 1,686 ac-ft/day. Of this total, 1,182 ac-ft/day was released to STA 3/4. The

average depth of the EAASR was 5.9 feet. Thus, the mean hydraulic residence time was

107.5 days or about three and a half months. The long term HRT of 29 days was
