<br />on the Colorado River and nine locations on the Green River, The <br />thermographs will be checked periodically and calibrated with on- <br />site temperature readings, The temperature data, together with <br />climatic, hydrologic, and stream geometry data, will be used to <br />update, calibrate, and operate the stream network temperature model, <br /> <br />B. Hydrology Modeling <br /> <br />DWR will continue to adapt the HYDROSS hydrology model for the <br />Colorado and Green Rivers to run on a workstation. This will result <br />in considerable data storage and run-time cost savings. This effort <br />will be coordinated with the development of a Colorado River <br />Decision Support System model being developed by the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board and the Gunnison River Basin Water Management. and <br />Planning Project. Data developed for the Yampa River Feasibility <br />Study will be incorporated into the model and the environmental; <br />baseline for the Yampa River will be updated to reflect the newer <br />data, <br /> <br />C. Flow Quantification <br /> <br />DWR will continue to be involved in flow quantification as studies <br />are proposed to refine flow recommendations in the basin. <br /> <br />Specific tasks include: Participation in the Yampa River <br />Feasibility Studies, participation in the work of the Instream Flow <br />Subcommittee, and general assistance to research studies relating to <br />flow quantification. <br /> <br />Support will be provided to wetland identification projects on the <br />.Colorado and Green Rivers, Help will be provided in the development <br />of hydrologic profile of the flows needed to provide seasonal <br />flooding of backwaters. <br /> <br />D, Gage Installation and Maintenance <br /> <br />DWR will continue to work with Geological Survey, Bureau of <br />Reclamation, and Colorado Division of Wildlife to maintain the <br />current gage at the head of the IS-mile reach. The DWR will <br />continue to work with the private contractor to quantify the return <br />flows in the IS-mile reach using data gathered from the temporary <br />gage in the lower end of the IS-mile reach. <br /> <br />E. Hydrology Support for the Recovery Program <br /> <br />\, Water Right Acquisition <br /> <br />DWR will assist the Water Right Acquisition Committee in water <br />right investigations, Tasks include: <br /> <br />a, Working with willing sellers to gather information on water <br />rights. <br /> <br />2 <br />
