<br />channel morphology in the Green River than depletions from the Yampa River <br />because of the high sediment load associated with the smaller runoff. <br /> <br />Streamflow Records <br />A total of five USGS gaging stations have been operated historically in the <br />Little Snake basin (Table 1). Currently only one USGS gaging station is still in <br />operation, the Lily Gage (RK 15) on the Little Snake near Lily, Colorado which has <br />been in continuous operation since 1922. The other important gages on the main <br />stem Little Snake were the gage near Slater, Colorado and the gage near Dixon, <br />Wyoming. The flow measured at the Dixon gage is influenced by two diversions <br />upstream of the gage. Two tributary gages were historically operated on Savery <br />Creek and Slater Fork. The Lily Gage is located near the confluence of the Yampa <br />River with no intervening major tributaries and therefore provides a good measure <br />of the water yield from the basin. The streamflow records at the other gages have <br />been intermittent (Table 1). The Dixon Gage has had no winter records since <br />1971. <br /> <br />14 <br />
