Booth Orchard Canal and ~nsolidated Canal no longer <br />,near 11t:f,,;} <br /> <br />have any surface-water rights, but of the 21 remaining canals, 18 were <br /> <br />affected by the transfer. The largest effect is at the Fort Lyon Canal, <br /> <br />5 3 <br />where average annual diversions increased 660 acre-feet (8.1xlO m), an <br /> <br />increase of about one-half of 1 percent. The largest relative effect is <br /> <br />on the Excelsior Canal, where diversion is increased about 1,3 percent. <br /> <br />All canals affected have an increase in mean annual surface-water <br /> <br />diversions. The total mean annual increase in canal diversions was 1,77Q <br /> <br />6 3 <br />acre-feet (2.2xlO m). <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Even though most canals are affected by the transfer plan, in any <br /> <br />given year most canals are not affected. In the first year, six canals <br /> <br />e, <br /> <br />are affected; in the second year, five canals are affected; in the third <br /> <br />year, three canals are affected. A number of factors determine which <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />canal will be affected any given month by the transfer plan, but the most <br /> <br />important factors are main stem and t~ibuta~y inflo~ and return flow, and <br /> <br />stream depletion caused by prior operation. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br />r <br />
