<br />"Horse Lake Creek above Heron No. lj. Reservoir, <br /> <br />"Willow Creek at Heron No. 4 Dam Si-t:e, <br /> <br />"The two stations above Heron No. 4 are to be placed in opera- <br />tion as soon as possible and either the present station on <br />Willow Creek at the dam site or a new one outside the construc- <br />tion area will be operated until Heron No. 4 is completed to <br />establish a relationship between the flows measured at the two <br />inlet stations and the total flow at the dam site. This <br />relationship will be used in future years to estimate the total <br />flow of Rio Grande water originating in. Willow Creek above <br />Heron Dam. <br /> <br />"Willow Creek at Heron No.4 outlet. Hhen Heron No. 4 is <br />placed in operation, a permanent gage is to be installed in <br />the outlet to measure all releases from the reservoir. <br /> <br />"Rio Chama near La Puente, 1'his existing station is to be <br />retained and permanent control installed. Th.i..s station is to <br />be used to establish a relationship between Rio Chama flows <br />above E1 Vado Reservoir and changes of storage in and outflow <br />from El Vado Reservoir. This correlation will be used to route <br />imported water and natural flows of the Rio Chama through E1 <br />Vado Reservoir, <br /> <br />"Rio Chama below E1 Vado Dam. Existing station is considered <br />adequate, <br /> <br />"Rio Chama above Abiquiu Reservoir. This station was recently <br />installed but the control is to be improved. <br /> <br />"Rio Chama below Abiquiu Dam. This station was recently <br />installed but is to be improved by construction of a permanent <br />control after the river channel becomes sta'bilized. <br /> <br />"Rio Chama near Abiquiu. This exi.sting station is to be retain- <br />ed at least through water yea;r 1965 to provide a period of con- <br />current records with the new station below Abiquiu Reservoir, <br /> <br />"Rio Chama near Chamita. It is desired tha.t a station capable <br />of measuring total outflow of the Rio Chama accurately at low <br />flow be estab1i.shed somewhere nea;r the confluence with the Rio <br />Grande. Such station is to be used in conjunction with seepage <br />runs which will be made during periods of low flows. Rio Chama <br />water is diverted around the present Cha.mita gage. The gage is <br />to be moved upstream above the diversions or, if this proves <br />impractical, the existing station will be improved for low-flow <br />conditions and rating sections chosen on the canals bypassing <br />the station, <br /> <br />10 <br />
