is 22,706 acre -ft which pro -rated to the total irrigated area in the three county - <br />huc's being modeled is 31,757 acre -ft. The 6 -year annual amount of water short <br />for the structures being modeled is 418 acre -ft which pro -rated to the total <br />irrigated area in the three county -huc's being modeled is 794 acre -ft. <br />3.3.2 Other Uses <br />The CRDSS CU model is implemented using the White River Basin database. <br />CU estimates for the livestock, stockpond, and municipal are obtained for the <br />White River Basin. The data for reservoir, thermal electric, and mineral were <br />obtained from the USGS by HUC. The export category was obtained from the <br />state engineers office. <br />Table 12 shows the six -year average annual CU for the different non - <br />evapotranspiration categories. The six -year average annual consumptive use for <br />non - evapotranspiration categories is 2,720 acre -ft. <br />3.4 Yampa River Basin <br />3.4.1 Crop Consumptive Use <br />The total irrigated lands, lands being modeled and percentage of lands being <br />modeled for each county -huc are shown in Table 13. This information can be <br />used to evaluate the validity of the pro -rated estimates of CU and amount of <br />water short in a county -huc (i.e., whether the county -huc combination is <br />adequately modeled by the diversion structures). Table 14 and 15 show the <br />amount of water short, and the estimated crop CU, respectively, by county -huc <br />combination. <br />The crop consumptive use and amount of water short in a county -huc <br />combination are estimated using the results of CU calculations at the structure <br />level. The 6 -year annual average estimated CU for the diversion structures being <br />modeled is 62,563 acre -ft which pro -rated to the total irrigated areas in the eight <br />county -huc's being modeled becomes 90,108 acre -ft. The 6 -year annual amount <br />of water short for the diversion structures being modeled is 7,052 acre -ft which <br />pro -rated to the total irrigated area in the eight county -huc's being modeled is <br />9,930 acre -ft. <br />3.4.2 Other Uses <br />The CRDSS CU model is implemented using the Yampa River Basin data. CU <br />estimates for the livestock, stockpond, and municipal are obtained for the Yampa <br />River Basin. The data for reservoir, thermal electric, and mineral were obtained <br />from the USGS by HUC. The export category was obtained from the state <br />engineers office. <br />
