<br />WATER SUPPLY
<br />
<br />The recorded flow passing the gaging station on the Rio
<br />Grande near Del Norte, Colo. during the 1965 calendar year
<br />was 141 percent of the 76 year average. Similarly the flow
<br />passing the station on Rio Grande at Otowi Bridge 'near San
<br />Ildefonso, N. Mex. was123 percent of the 66 year aVerage.
<br />
<br />Accuracy of records
<br />
<br />The Rules and Regulations of the Commission state that
<br />the equipment, method, and frequency of measurement at each
<br />gaging station shall be sufficient to obtain records at least
<br />equal in accuracy to those classified as "gOOd" by the U. S.
<br />Geological Survey. Within the physical limitations of stream
<br />gaging, the agencies obtaining the records at Compact gaging
<br />stations have complied with these regulations.
<br />
<br />The station description states the degree of accuracy of
<br />the records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the
<br />errcr in the daily records is believed to be less than 5 per-
<br />cent; "good" less than 10 percent; "fair", less than 15 per-
<br />cent; and "poor", probably more than IS percent. The records
<br />of monthly runoff are, in general, more accurate than the
<br />daily records. These standards of accuracy are the same as
<br />those fallowed by the U. S. Geological Survey.
<br />
