The next <br /> <br />largest was in 1973, with a 26-day volume of 409,130 acre-feet; <br /> <br />third largest, a 31-day volume of 185,018 acre-feet was in 1914. <br />I <br /> <br />There are several major diversions from the river downstream from the <br /> <br />Kerseygage.which may reduce the excesses at Narrows Dam. The magni- <br /> <br />tude of these diversions was estimated by tabulating recorded river <br /> <br /> <br />discharges at Kersey, Sublette, and We1dona gages for the months of <br /> <br />April, May, and June. <br /> <br />Both Sublette and Weldona gages were not operated prior to' 1926;. <br /> <br />therefore, gain or losses could not be determined for 1914, third <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br />... < ...........~ <br /> <br />'... <br /> <br />. <br />
