Where Storage Headwaters v. Lower Basin v. Columbia River Water

• Headwaters (e.g. Bumping)

• • Con: Can be non-normative (See upper Yak)
  • Pro: Gravity
  • • Can make runoff less flashy (climate change)

• Mid-Lower Basin (e.g Wymer)

• • Pro: Release higher winter flows and recapture
  • Con: Pumping costs, hard to store peaks, lack of good sites below Naches confluence

• Columbia

• • Pro: Bigger to smaller
  • Con: Pumping, infrastructure costs
