10, and 5. The hydrographs of stations 1, 6 and 10 are quite
similar even though our wells are augured into the underlying
gravels which we presumed were directly connected to the Gunnison
River.
Figure 9 includes hydrographs for the southern side of the
study area. Station 7 again, is the Gunnison River. Station 20
is a small man-made pond and retains very stable water levels
that are higher in elevation than the River. This hydrograph is
very similar to that of station 10 on the north side of the River
and indicates that many features on the main portion of the
floodplain can maintain water levels far above that of the river.
