Errors in the diversion estimates for Main Canals No. 1 and <br />No. 2 may be of the same magnitude as the native flow in McElmo Creek. The Dolores <br />Project/McElmo Creek area was uniquely difficult to simulate in Phase IIIa, perhaps due to poor <br />data. For these reasons, the data estimation technique should be evaluated by looking at its <br />performance in the rest of the basin. <br />Elsewhere, 19 more negative baseflow estimates occurred, out of several thousand possibilities. <br />This was in the range of our expectations, and indicates that the algorithm is not introducing <br />estimates that violate physical possibilities a significant portion of the time. Average magnitude <br />of the negative flows does not appear to be significantly different overall, with some <br />magnitudes increasing in Task 11.7, and others decreasing, relative to Phase IIIa. <br />Table 8 -Comparison of Negative Baseflow Occurrences in Yampa Model. <br /> Average Value(a~ <br /> Ph IIIa Task 11.7 Ph IIIa Task 11.7 <br />9238900 Fish Creek At Upper Station 1 1 -97 -60 <br />9246920 Fortification Creek near Fortification, CO 7 11 -17 -16 <br />9247600 Yampa River Below Craig, CO 2 -2366 <br />9251000 Yampa River Near Maybell, CO 1 -1338 <br />TOTAL 8 15 <br />The Yampa basin model shows similar results. There are more negative baseflow estimates as <br />expected, but not enough to have a large impact on overall model performance. <br />Appendix E E-85 <br />
