9. GAGING STATIONS

In general, streamflow records of satisfactory accuracy were ob-
tained at the Compact stations. Emphasis was again placed on ob-
taining more field data, particularly in the Corm of discharge
measurements at various stages of flow. Several more measurements
were made at each site than are required under agreement with the
Compact. Measurements made by personnel of the State Engineer
were incorporated into the records.
During part of the 1982 water year, computations of discharge were
made at many of the Compact sites using data transmilled by satellite
communication and computer software designed by the U.S. Geological
Survey and personnel of Environmental Resource and Technology, fnc.
The methods of computation proved beneficial in providing real-time
data at the sites as well as in identifying problems.
There ,,'ere no critical problems at the stations during the year,
with the exception of the continuing unstable channels and controls.
The administration approved a cooperative agreement with the U.S.
Geological Survey for the fiscal year October I, 1981, to September 30,
1982, in the amount of $21,690 - $10,845 for each party. These funds are
for supplemental measurements at the sites; the operation 01 one
station, Arkansas River near Granada, Colorado; maintenance of radio
equipment, and the preparation of records for the annual report.
