has a recurrence interval of about 1.5 years (Gordon et al 1992). The 1.5 year peak flow <br />on the Yampa River at Maybell is 8,463 cfs. The median, 50% exceedence, or 2 -year <br />peak flow recorded on the Maybell gage is 10,000 cfs and the ten year flood is 14,634 <br />cfs. In 1996 the peak flow was 14,700 cfs and it was 16,400 in 1997. Figure 2. displays <br />the annual hydrographs for the 90 %, 80 %, 50 %, 20% and 10% exceedence flows. These <br />flows indicate the frequency that a flow will exceed that value, e.g. in one out of ten years <br />flows have exceeded the 10% curve. <br />Currently, approximately 110,000 AF of water is depleted for out -of -river use per <br />year, about 10% of the total annual yield. Ninety percent, 80 %, 70 %, 60 % and 50 % <br />exceedence flows are give for the base flow period in Figure 3. The lowest flow typically <br />occurs in September, a time with dry natural conditions and high demand for water <br />diversion. The 50% exceedence or median flow year had a minimum flow of 174 cfs. In <br />four of five years (20% exceedence) the minimum flow exceeds 81 cfs and in nine 9 of <br />ten years (10% exceedence) the minimum flow is 66 cfs. <br />5 <br />
