(7) The near term flood for a given return period may be less than, or greater than, the median or long term flood at the same return period, i.e., the long term flood frequency would plot between the flood frequencies in Figure 7.

(9) Safe Yield is defined, for the purpose of this discussion, as the minimum water yield the reservoir would supply in any historic drawdown season.
(10) A low risk criteria might reduce water deliveries if a 5,000 acre- foot deficit is expected at a 2 percent probability level. A high risk criteria might not reduce water deliveries until the probability of a 5,000 acre-foot deficit reaches 50 percent.
