Crystal at the downstream end of Aspinall
Crystal is the downstream reservoir in the three-reservoir Aspinall Unit on the Gunnison River. With much less storage capacity than Blue Mesa, its daily elevation and storage can respond more visibly to coordinated releases through the system.
Treat short-term changes as an operating signal, not a basin supply measure by themselves. Pair Crystal with Morrow Point for immediate upstream context and Blue Mesa for the larger Gunnison Basin storage picture.
What to watch at Crystal Reservoir
- Short-term response to upstream movement
- Direction relative to Morrow Point
- Gap below the 6,763.19-foot full-pool reference
