A direct diversion right for 1,184 cfs was adjudicated, but 584 cfs of that was <br />abandoned in 1923. In 1924, Denver Water purchased the canal and water rights along with <br />Antero Reservoir. <br />The High Line Canal diverts from South Platte River about 1.5 miles downstream of Denver's <br />Intake (Conduit No. 20). From the diversion dam the High Line Canal traverses about 68 miles <br />northeasterly to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. Over this reach the canal drops in elevation from <br />5,542 feet to 5,410 feet. Much of the service road that follows the ditch is now leased to <br />recreational entities for foot, bicycle, and horseback trails. <br />Most of Denver Water's water rights that have been transferred to the Denver Intake may also be <br />diverted at the High Line Canal. <br />Specifics regarding High Line Canal include: <br />• 200 cfs capacity <br />• Seepage losses are relatively high due to the length of the canal and underlying geology <br />Denver Water Board Operating Memorandum 25 of 40 <br />
