<br />COLORADO BASIN <br /> <br />1 BasinWide Conditions Assessment <br />The SWSI value of 1.5 indicates that for July the <br />basin water supplies were a bit above normal. Flow at the <br />gaging station Colorado River near Dotsero was 3,654 cfs, <br />as compared to the long-term average of 3,063 cfs. Storage <br />in Green Mountain, Ruedi, and Williams Fork reservoirs <br />totaled 103% of normal as of the end of July. <br /> <br />Outlook <br />The monsoon season has hit the Colorado River <br />basin since mid-July and will continue at least until mid- <br />August. <br /> <br />Administrative/Manaaement Concerns <br />The heavy rains have kept the reservoirs full with <br />some spilling. Diversions to irrigation have been minimized, <br />thus keeping the calls off the main stem and most of the side <br />tributaries. <br /> <br />Public Use Imoacts <br />Mud slides on 1-70 near Dotsero in late July, and <br />localized flooding near Keystone in Summit County, have <br />caused inconvenience to travelers, tourists, and locals. No <br />severe injuries have been reported. <br /> <br />~ 2 <br /> <br />w <br />~, <br />> <br />~ 0 <br />3!; <br />>- -, <br />II: <br />Q <br /> <br />3,000.000 <br />1 <br />.u. <br />~ 2.500,000 <br /><( <br />~ 2.000,000 <br />-' <br />u. <br />~ 1,500.000 <br />5 <br />~ 1,000,000 <br />::l <br />u <br /> <br />1;Q0ll <br />iii <br />.!! <br />~ 1XIaD <br />co <br />oj <br />g lQOll <br />~ <br />~ lQOll <br />III <br />::l <br />Cl,lXXl <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />Aug-99 <br /> <br />CXl.aWlOIl'\SIN SMil HST<RY <br /> <br /> <br />.;! <br /> <br />.. <br />..-..0 ......1 .-.e2 .IIn83 JIn-N JIn.I5 .... .-.aJ ...... ...... <br />M:JoJTH/ \'l:AR <br /> <br />COl.ORAOO RVER N'l.
