<br />32 RIO GRANDE COMPACT COMMISSION REPORT

<br />('I')
<br />O".l
<br />~ WATER SUPPLY
<br />C)
<br />
<br />'-
<br />
<br />The recorded flow passing the gaging station on the Rio Grande
<br />near Del Norte, Colo. during the 1968 calendar year was 101 percent of
<br />the 79 year average. Similarly, the flow passing the station on Rio
<br />Grande at Otowi Bridge near San Ildefonso, N. Mex. was 78 percent of
<br />the 69 year average.
<br />
<br />Accuracy of records
<br />
<br />The Rules and Regulations of the Commission state that the
<br />equipment, method, and frequency of measurement at each gaging
<br />station shall be sufficient to obtain records at least equal in accuracy
<br />to those classified as "good" by the U. S. Geological Survey. Within
<br />the physical limitations of stream gaging, the agencies obtaining the
<br />records at Compact gaging stations have compiled with these regulations.
<br />
<br />The station description states the degree of accuracy of the
<br />records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the error in the daily
<br />records is believed to be less than 5 percent; "good" less than 10
<br />percent; "fair" less than 15 percent; and "poor" probably more than
<br />15 percent. The records of monthly runoff are, in general, more
<br />accurate than the daily records. These standards of accuracy are the
<br />same as those followed by the U. S. Geological Survey.
<br />
