<br />9. GAGING STATIONS <br />The USGS operates eight gaging stations, as included in Appendix B. <br />under their "Collection of Basic Records" program and through funding <br />agreements with the Corps of Engineers and the Administration, For <br />federal fiscal year 1991-1992 (October 1, 1991 to September 30, <br />1992) the Administration approved cooperative agreements with the <br />Kansas and Colorado Districts of the USGS in the amount of $26,450. <br />The Administration was assessed one half of this amount, or $13,225. <br />These funds were used for supplemental stage and flow measurements <br />at compact gaging sites in Colorado and Kansas, the operation of one <br />station (Arkansas River near Granada, Colorado). and the preparation <br />of records for this annual report. In 1992 the USGS installed a data <br />collection platform lDCP) on the Arkansas River at Lamar, Colorado <br />gage. As of 1992 all compact gaging stations are now linked via <br />satellite to water resource management offices. The immediate <br />retrieval of real time flow data has improved the administration of water <br />deliveries under the Compact, <br /> <br />In general, streamflow records of satisfactory accuracy were obtained <br />at the compact stations. Emphasis was again placed on obtaining more <br />field data, particularly in the form of discharge measurements at various <br />stages of flow. Additional measurements were also made by personnel <br />of the Colorado State Engineer which were incorporated into the <br />records as appropriate. The only significant problem at the stations <br />durin9 the year was the continuing unstable channels and controls. <br /> <br />-, <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br />A~C. "tJ <br />
