INTRODUCTION <br />Colorado is, once aga.in, pleased to provide the following information in support of the <br />Reservoir Coordinating Committee (RCC) for the three State Platte River Coopera.tive <br />Agreement. In preparing the information, I focused my efforts on the South Platte River <br />and certain data that is most relevant to the RCC. Once again I have also included a list <br />of Internet Sites, which people can access for additional information and up-to-date <br />information over the next several months. <br />II. WATER SUPPLY OUTLOOK <br />Stream Flow <br />The second and third pages of the handout are related to the historic and current flow <br />information (October 2005) for the South Platte River at Julesburg and at Kersey. The <br />mean daily flow at Julesburg for October 2005 was 137 cfs. This is greater than the mean <br />monthly flow for the same month last year, which was 75 cfs, but less than the mean <br />monthly flow for the entire period of record (1901-2003), which was 311. In contrast, the <br />mean flows at Kersey for October 2005 were 1051 cfs, as compared to 1207 cfs for the <br />same time period last year, and 648 cfs for the period of record. <br />The third page of the handout shows the mean flows on the South Platte River at <br />Julesburg for the 2004-2005 period, the 2003-3004 period and the historic mean flow and <br />minimum flows for the period of record. Clearly the flows at the Julesburg gage were <br />higher for this past year, than for the prior yeaz.
