<br />, . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />o A different approach was used for thfl FOllntain Il:I.ver. Here a dalble mass <br />U1 <br />o d1.agrllll was plotted 1d.th the tlGW or the A:ril:ansas Il:I.ver at Pneblo as an abs<:l.ssa and <br />01 <br />the flOll' of the Foant.a1n Il:I.ver at Pueblo as the ordinate. This was based on the QS- <br /> <br />BUllption that there is not. much ettect on the tlOlr e1' 'the Aricansas River at PlIablo due <br /> <br />to the lP' density of stock poDis above that etat:l.on. It was further asllllll9d that if <br /> <br /> <br />I!Itock ponds have been developed at the same rate, the average slope of this double lII8SS <br /> <br /> <br />diagram would reamin more or lel!lS the same. In ather words, if the effect of thflse <br /> <br />ptlllds is not very sudden, then the average slope vill remain the s_, bat the effect <br />ot these stock pow which have been developed rather recently is remarkable. <br />It was shown by the appearance and break of the average slups. It is BtIl'P1'is~ to <br />note that a break did appear in the year 1947, trom 1947 the sloJll of the diagram is <br />tlatter than the slope from 1941 to 1946. It was then attempted to f1D:i the reason <br />tor this breaking trom the average slepe. It was doubted H this was dD8 to the heav,y <br />develOpleDt. of stock ponds during this pertod in the Fauntdn Rtver basin. However, <br />to check this, the total DDlllber of ponds developed dll.riDg 1947 atd 1950 were cOlllpUted <br />and their total capac:1ty added lIhich came out rather lCJW, onJy sbout 58 ole. Ft. <br />Thus, it vas conCluded that this 58 ole. Ft. could not effect the n.s at the FQ1msin <br />Il:I.ver at PueblO to arq great extent. Therefore, this would not C8l1Be a breakage in <br />the slope treDi. Theretore, the only reasonable answer to this can be attriblted to <br />the developlent e1' grollDd vater in the basin which may have caused the redllCtion in <br />flOlfI!l or the Fountain River at Pueblo. UnfortalUltely this study was llJD1ted to the <br />period 1941 to 1950 due to the available discharge records at the FOlntain Il:I.ver. <br />An attampt. vas mads to obtain further reoords of the Fountain RlvS', blt tailed. <br /> <br />{~~4".-,' - h to ~ ;A- c-<,>,v(,.( .-C-' ~~<1.^~( ft:,-~J (/,,"'C './(,.(",fr j->""v-G.-:; <br />------ --- <br /> <br />tAu-.,Jf ~ ~u -"i(/-'>c-I o/'J ,;(~'pLt". e,>.--' ,,/ /2~,..--.J L~ /fl.,; J"A~_(.'_J' <br />If. / tr.
