the 1980s as the wettest period in the past 100 years. The 24 and 48 month portion shows the 1976-1980 drought period was the worst extended drought period this century. Most of the stations in the Colorado (CO) drainage have a mid to late summer maximum in precipitation which is not usually the same for the higher elevations. A total of 8 sites are included for the Colorado (CO) and 4 of them are below Glenwood Springs. Only 3 of these 8 sites had data prior to 1905. The 3 month SPI shows recent short droughts in 1994, 1990, 1981, 1979, 1978 and 1976-1977. The late 1970s were the driest few years in the record. Again, the period since 1980 has been the wettest period and is not very different for the period in the 1920s. In the Gunnison (GU) drainage 3 of the 5 sites have data prior to 1900 so the drought period 1900-1905 is very evident and well defined. Recent droughts for the 3 month SPI include 1990, 1978, 1976-1977, and 1972. For the Gunnison (GU) the three drought periods of the 1900-1905, 1950s, and later 1970s are the three for this century. The period since 1982 is the wettest of this century but has not lasted as long as the wet period for 1906-1931. The figures show the Gunnison (GU), Colorado (CO) and Yampa-White (YW) have much in common for drought and wet periods. The San Juan, Animas and Dolores (SA) drainage has only 1 site with data prior to 1906 so the very dry conditions are from Durango data. The 3 month data shows recent droughts involve mostly two years in 1995-1996, 1989-1990, 1980-1981, and 1976-1977. At the 24 month SPI, it is clear the 1989-1990 and 1976-1977 droughts were worse and very much like the droughts in the 1950s and 1930s. The San Juan, Animas and Dolores (SA) definitely experienced the drought of the 1930s considerably more than the Yampa-White (YW), Colorado (CO) and 19
