<br />ber 31, 1968. Slaleline !lows for corresponding periods averaged 121 <br />c.ts. and 184 c.ts. respectively. <br /> <br />The total discharge for the year al Garden City was 49,140 acre- <br />feet of which 35,040 acre-feet or 71 per cent occurred as winter flows. <br /> <br />8. GAGING STATIONS <br /> <br />In general, streamflow records of satisfactory accuracy were <br />obtained at the Compact stations. Emphasis was continued on per- <br />forming 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 /> <br />It will be noted that there are differences in the releases from <br />the reservoir, as measured at the gaging station, and the daily demands <br />by Colorado and Kansas. Perfect agreement cannot be obtained, but <br />the differences could be minimized by relocating the gaging station <br />nearer to the dam and installing an artificial control. This would <br />stabilize the rating and also reduce Ihe time involved in adjusting the <br />gates to the required release. <br /> <br />The recording gage for the Arkansas River at Lamar was re- <br />located at the bridge on U. S. Highways 50 and 287 in March 1966 be- <br />cause channel improvements caused the previOUS gage, located 450 ft. <br />above the bridge, to be isolated from the river at low slages. A 42-inch <br />galvanized metal shelter was installed near the north end of the bridge <br />for the gas-purge manometer. The old structure will be lell in place <br />for the time being. <br /> <br />The radio-relay slations between the Coolidge gaging stations and <br />Garden City, one south of Syracuse and the other west of Lakin, were <br />completed and the radio equipment was installed in March 1966. <br /> <br />The Administration approved a cooperative agreement with the <br />U. S. Geological Survey for the fiscal year July I, 1968 to June 30, 1969 <br />in the amount of $4,400; $2,200 for each parly. These funds are for the <br />operation of the Compact station at Lamar, the additional field work at <br />the other Compact stations, the prOViding of current streamflow data, <br />and the preparation of records for the Annual Report. <br /> <br />9.
