<br />Row Description
<br />1, Average monthly diversion by the Hat Creek Ditch for 1951-1992 for years diversions were recorded. See Table 1.
<br />2, Ditch seepage loss at 10 percent based on "Estimating Seepage Losses from Canal Systems" by R,V, Worstel, Journal of
<br />Irrigation and Drainage, ASCE, March 1976.
<br />3, Row 1 - Row 2 = Field delivery
<br />4, Consumptive irrigation requirement for 22 acres of hay and pasture grass using modified Blaney-Criddle method and crop
<br />coefficients presented in "Evapotranspiration in High Altitude Mountain Meadows in Grand County" by N, Carlson (Denver
<br />Water Department),
<br />5, Percolation through root zone to ground water. Delivery exceeding consumptive irrigation requirement plus soil moisture
<br />deficit is divided equally between deep percolation and tail water. Minimum amount is 25% of field delivery,
<br />6, Runoff from end of field, Delivery exceeding consumptive irrigation requirement plus soil moisture deficit is divided equally
<br />between deep percolation and tail water, Minimum amount is 25% of field delivery, Maximum irrigation efficiency = 50%,
<br />7, Crop consumption use equals consumptive irrigation requirement if water supply and carry over soil moisture are adequate,
<br />8, Previous month's storage + Row 3 - Row 5 - Row 6 - Row 7, limited to available water holding capacity of 7.9 acre-feet.
<br />9, Change in soil moisture storage from previous month,
<br />10, From Row 7
<br />11, Return from ditch seepage and deep percolation. Centroid of field is approximately 300 feet to river, Underlying materials
<br />are gravel, cobbles with moderate permeabliity ("Soil Survey of Aspen-Gypsum Area, Colorado" USDA, May 1992), 75%
<br />returns to river in same month as diversion and 25% returns in the following month..
<br />12, Row10+Row11
<br />13, Diversion - Return Flow (Row 1 - Row 12). Negative depletion indicates a historical stream accretion caused by the lagged
<br />groundwater return flow,
<br />14, Row 13 converted to cubic feet per second
