(Based on analysis of the USGS Report 83-4220 entitled 'A Method for Estimating Ground-Yater Return Flow to the <br />AZ Lower Colorado River in the Yuma Area') <br />AZ (E) Diversion*milage weighted share of Gila Main Canal loss less canal surface evaporation (1397 af/yr) and phreatophytes (2154 af/yr). <br />AZ (F) Additional unmeasured amounts of return flows from the Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage District, 'Unit St, the Cocopah Indian <br />AZ Reservation, and the Yuma County Water Users Association (YCWUA) are utilized to meet consumptive uses in the United States and in <br />AZ partial satisfaction of the Mexican Treaty obligation. Some of thes underground flows are recovered by pumping from wells on the <br />AZ Cocopah Indian Reservation and in the YCWUA area, and by some of the surface drains in the YCWUA area. Efforts will be made to at least <br />AZ quantify these return flows within broad limits by respective water user entities in future years. <br />AZ 81 Diversion adjusted for delivery to Mohave Valley I. D. D. (Chesney). <br />AZ 91 Main Outlet Drain return flow credit is measured flow at Station 0+00 and includes both colorado River and Gila River water. Reclamation <br />AZ is working to develop a method to separate the different sources of return flow and will apply that methodology when available. <br /> <br />
