The <br />Colorado Streamgaging Symposium will <br />provide an opportunity to share <br />infonnation about: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The major steamgaging programs <br />in the state; <br />The importance and various uses <br />of the streamflow data; <br />The historic and current coverage <br />of streamflow gages in Colorado <br />and perceived deficiencies in the <br />current coverage; and <br />Opportunities that may be available <br />to the water community to diversify <br />and perhaps increase overall <br />Investments made to support the <br />collection, dissemination, and <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />archiving of the streamflow <br />information. <br /> <br />The firsl Colorado Streamgaging <br />Symposium was held May 3, 2001 in <br />Breckenridge. Colorado. The meeting <br />brought together a diverse group of over <br />80 individuals and organizations <br />interested in maintaining and improving <br />the collection and use of Colorado <br />streamflow data. <br /> <br />The symposium was co~sponsored by <br />the Colorado Water Resources Research <br />Institute (CWRRI), the U.S. Geological <br />Survey (USGS), the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board (eWeB) and the <br />Division of Water Resources (DWR). <br /> <br />Beginning with the first streamflow gage <br />operated by the State Engineer in 1881, <br />the number of streamflow gages in <br />Colorado has grown to well over 600 <br />today. Statewide streamgaging <br />programs are now administered by both <br />the DWR and the USGS, with support <br />from more than 60 cooperating <br />organizations. <br /> <br />The programs are closely coordinated <br />between the DWR and USGS to help <br />ensure the data are comparable and <br />easily accessible to everyone, including <br />the provision of real-time data available <br />on the Internel. <br /> <br /> <br />....1 <br />
