. . - 1,423 to 2,169 acre-feet, will occur downstream of the Fort Lyon Canal. Average and maximum annual stream depletions at essential water rights administration locations are shown in Table 1-1. The replacement water recommended in this study will generally ensure that the replacement above these locations will exceed the depletions. This ensures that there will be no injury to surface water rights.

The water can be grouped into five general classes. 1. Fryingpan-Arkansas Project first use and return flows. 2. Trans-basin water. 3. Decreed consumptive use water available from municipal water entities. 4. Decreed consumptive use water owned by private parties or water districts. 5. Agricultural water rights. Several of the sources of replacement water are currently used in CWPDA's Rule 14 plan or have been used in previous plans. The amount available by SOLlrces ranged from 23 to several thousand acre-feet. The replacement water supplies that should be considered as a source of augmentation water for CWPDA wells are listed in Table 1-2. The table lists the average and drought period yields, a rating of the supply, and comments on each source. CWPDA: See I 10/19/99 Page 3
