Hydrologic Data
After receiving the cooperating agency's biologic recommendation, the CWCB staff conducted
an evaluation of the stream hydrology to determine if water was physically available for an
instream flow appropriation. The hydrograph below was derived from data collected by the
USGS stream gage for Badger Creek, Lower Station near Howard, CO (ID #07093775), which
has a drainage area of 211 square miles (See Gage Summary in Appendix). The total drainage
area of the Badger Creek Drainage is approximately 211 square miles. The period of record for
this gage was 1980 -2003, the period of record used by staff in their analysis was 1980 -2003, or
24 years of record. Table 2 and Figure 1; display the estimated stream flow of Badger Creek in
terms of a percentage of exceedence and average discharge.
