<br />Colorado, Water Resources Investigations Report 85-4086, 1985) that apply to the Uncompahgre <br />Plateau and Glade Park based on basin drainage area, mean annual precipitation, mean basin <br />elevation and mean basin slope. The report "Uncompahgre Plateau and Glade Park Annual <br />Hydrograph Estimation" in Appendix C, explains staff's water availability analysis in more <br />detail. Table 2 below displays the estimated stream flow of Escalante Creek. <br /> <br />For the upper reach, the synthetic hydrograph shows that the summer flow recommendation of <br />11.5 cfs is available only from April 1 to June 30. The summer flow recommendation was <br />reduced to 3.2 cfs for the time period of July 1 through July 31 based on limited water <br />availability. Table 2 also shows that the winter flow recommendation of 3.2 cfs is only available <br />at least 50% of the time from March 1 through March 31. The winter flow recommendation was <br />further reduced to 1.3 cfs for the period of August 1 to February 28 based on limited water <br />availability . <br /> <br />(cfs) <br /> <br />Table 2: Estimated Stream Flow on Escalante Creek (upper reach): <br />Jan Feb Mar Jun <br /> <br />Dec <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />lJ) <br />U 10 <br /> <br />Jul <br /> <br />Oct <br /> <br />Nov <br /> <br />Estimated Stream Flow on Escalante Creek <br />(upper reach) <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oet Nov Dee <br />Month <br /> <br />Table 3: Estimated Stream Flow on Escalante Creek (lower reach): <br /> <br />(cfs) <br /> <br />-6- <br />
