TABLE 2 <br />ACCUMULATED DECREED WATER RIGHTS AND IRRIGATED ACREAGE <br />FOR DEMAND NODES <br />ACCUMULATED IRRIGATED <br />DECREED ACREAGE <br />AMOUNT (CFS) (ACRES) <br />DEMAND NODE <br />1. Bonafide, Hartland, and Relief159.83 4,223 <br />2. All other water rights in the Austin area, including the North Delta 124.944,307 <br />Canal <br />The irrigated acreage for the Bonafide, Hartland, and Relief water rights was determined using the <br />irrigated acreage data provided to the CRDSS Consumptive Use group by the U.S. Bureau of <br />Reclamation and the Division of Water Resources. <br />3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The ?Austin Area Water Rights? represent a number of large irrigation structures with relatively senior <br />priorities which divert from the Gunnison River near the Town of Austin. Based on inspection of GIS <br />mapping of the irrigated acreage situated under the canals in this vicinity, certain modifications of the <br />acreage values imported from the GUNMOD model were made. The acreage changes are as follows: <br />Demand Node Description GUNMOD Acreage MODSIM Acreage <br />Bonafide, Hartland, and Relief4,2234,223 <br />GunMainstBtwUnc&NF10,9464,307 <br />(Includes North Delta Canal) <br />For the MODSIM prototype, the water rights associated with the Relief Ditch were removed from the <br />GUNMOD aggregation of water rights (GunMainstBtwUnc&NF) and included with the Bonafide, <br />Hartland, and Relief demand node. With these changes, the MODSIM model accurately represents the <br />diversions by the water rights in the Austin area. <br />2 <br />A275 01.09.95 1.15-18 Fosha, Hyre <br />
