Milton Lake Delivery S t ructures : <br />The Gilm or e Ditch is the only structure that delivers water <br />f r om Milton Lake to lan d s w ithin th e FRICO-Milton Sys t em. <br /> Gilm ore Ditch <br />Water is released from the Milton Lake ou tle t to the Gilm ore Ditch f o r delivery to <br />FRICO lands in Beebe Draw. The unlined ditch travels in a northern direction for <br />approxim a tely 13 m iles and then arcs south to term inate in Box Elder Creek. Gilm ore <br />Ditch is app r oxim a tely 2 4 m iles in le ngth. Th e ditch is equipped w ith a measuring weir <br />at the outlet of the re servoir. On occasion, Evans No. 2 Ditch can tailwater into the <br />Gilm ore ditch downstream from this m easur ing device, however this happens rarely <br />because the Evans No. 2 system is water sho r t. T a ilwater fro m the East Neres Canal can <br />also reach th e Gilm ore Ditch but rarely does because the FRICO–Barr system is water <br />short. Losse s in Gilm ore Ditch ar e estim ated to be 25% to 50%. <br />WATER RIGHTS <br />Tables 2 3 <br />and show the direct flow right for stor age and the storage rights owned by the <br />FRICO–Marshall division. <br />Table 2 <br />1 <br />Water Righ ts - Platte V a lley Canal <br />Decreed <br />Appropriation Adjudication Adm i nistration <br />Source Am ount Uses <br />Date Date No. <br />(cfs) <br />South Platte <br />0 5 / 2 9 / 1 9 0 9 0 8 / 0 2 / 1 9 1 8 2 1 6 9 8 . 0 0 0 0 0 5 1 0 . 0 0 S t o r a g e <br />River <br />Notes: <br /> 1.
