. There are two types of potential releases on the Black Canyon: 1) "unscheduled releases" which are based on inflow triggers and are predicted 1-5 days in advance, and 2) scheduled releases that are planned months in advance. Please select the comparison that best reflects your opinion of these two types of releases, as though you had to trade one type of release for the other.
Unscheduled releases have no value to me
I would trade 5 unscheduled for 1 scheduled
I would trade 4 unscheduled for 1 scheduled
I would trade 3 unscheduled for 1 scheduled
I would trade 2 unscheduled for 1 scheduled
I value them equally
I would trade 1 unscheduled for 2 scheduled
I would trade 1 unscheduled for 3 scheduled
I would trade 1 unscheduled for 4 scheduled
I would trade 1 unscheduled for 5 scheduled
Scheduled releases have no value to me
