<br />9. Gaging Stations <br /> <br />In general, streamflow records of satisfactory accuracy were <br />obtained at the compact stations. Emphasis was continued on <br />performing additional field work to increase the accuracy of the records <br />and on providing current streamflow data to the Administration and <br />state officials as required. <br />It will be noted that there are differences in the releases Irom the <br />reservoir, as measured at the gaging station, and the daily demands by <br />Colorado and Kansas. Pedect agreement cannot be obtained, but the <br />differences eQuid be minimized by relocating the gaging station nearer <br />to the dam and installing an artificial control. This would stabilize the <br />rating and also reduce the time involved in adjusting the gates to the <br />required release. <br />The divider between the stilling wells at the gaging station on <br />Frontier ditch has rusted out and was temporaTily patched with <br />concrete in 1972. Prior to the 1973 irrigation season, the metal stilling <br />wells will be replaced with concrete stilling wells. <br />The Administration appro'~ed a cooperative agreement with the <br />U. S. Geological Survey for the fiscal year July I, 1972 to June 3D, <br />1973, in the amount of $8,000; $4,000 for each party. These fund') are <br />fOT the operation of the compact station at Lamar, the additional field <br />work at the other compact stations, the maintenance of the radio <br />eauipment. the providing of current streJmfloW data, .3nd the <br />pfeparation of records for the Annual Report. <br /> <br />10.
