Figures 17b and 17c plot similar relations for the Gunnison River and the Colorado River <br />near the CO-UT state line. The patterns observed at these site are similar to those observed at <br />Cameo, although not as clear because of the fewer observations. In both cases the peak in <br />sediment concentration precedes the peak in water discharge by several weeks, and there is a <br />distinct period from April through June were concentrations are higher overall. <br />500 B Gunnison River nr.
