North Platte Basin Roundtable Meeting Minutes, 04.22.2008 4
Nolan: More than one
Kent: what length of time?
Nolan: Over five years to get good data. N Platte and Yampa have the least historic data,
so those two basins would have the greater need for CoAgMet.
Carl Trick: How much reliable data are you going to get from each different type of
gauge?
Nolan: Pm not convinced that the atmometer is calibrated for pasture grass. If you don't
do CoAgMet, you would want one at the lysemeter up here and should visit it weekly.
Discussion about CoAgMet, WSRA fiinding, etc.:
Nolan could put together an application in time for the May meeting to propose funds for
CoAgMet in the N. Platte basin, if it is something the roundtable thinks is important for
consumptive use data.

TOW applications were distributed; everyone should have a copy with the correct

will take official action on this application at the May 15, 2008 meeting.
