<br />Stream Flow on Cottonwood Creek <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />lJ) <br />U 4 <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oet Nov Dee <br />Month <br /> <br />Table 2 shows that the summer flow recommendation of 3.0 cfs is available only from April 1 to <br />June 15, which corresponds with the snowmelt runoff period. Accordingly, the BLM <br />recommended that 3.0 cfs be appropriated during April 1 to June 15, and that no appropriation be <br />made for the remainder of the year because of limited water availability. <br /> <br />Precipitation Data <br />Staff reviewed local precipitation data sets from one site located around the Cottonwood Creek <br />Drainage (see Precipitation Data in Appendix C). Table 3 shows the water year and the percent <br />of average precipitation recorded for this site. It is staff's opinion that the ten years of stream- <br />flow data analyzed is representative of slightly below average water-years. <br /> <br />Year <br />1942 <br />1943 <br />1944 <br />1945 <br />1946 <br />1947 <br />1948 <br />1949 <br />1950 <br />1951 <br />Average <br /> <br />Elevation = 7020 <br />Lat 38 08 00 <br />Long 108 1700 <br />Norwood <br />76% <br />105% <br />85% <br />95% <br />105% <br />127% <br />No data available <br />92% <br />64% <br />70% <br />91% <br /> <br />- 5 - <br />
