<br />equations apparently provide a reasonably accurate estimate of the total annual flow <br />volume. <br /> <br />Once total annual volumes can be estimated, the question then becomes how to allocate <br />this volume over a 12-month period. A mean annual monthly distribution was calculated <br />using the annual hydro graphs from Potter Creek, Spring Creek, and Hay Press Creek. <br />These three creeks were used since they are the best unaltered representations of a natural <br />plateau flow regime. The monthly distribution of volume based on a percentage of <br />annual total volume is as follows: <br /> <br />January: 0.32 <br />February: 0.6 <br />March: 1.0 <br />April: 14.7 <br />May: 55.4 <br />June: 24.6 <br />July: 1.3 <br />August: 0.55 <br />September: 0.45 <br />October: 0.39 <br />November: 0.35 <br />December: 0.34 <br /> <br />The regional equation with the proper input values was used to generate estimates of <br /> <br /> <br />annual volumes for the following Uncompahgre Plateau and Glade Park watersheds. <br /> <br /> <br />These annual volumes were then distributed according to the monthly distributions <br /> <br /> <br />above. The distribution of water volumes across the months of the year was translated <br /> <br /> <br />into mean monthly flows in the following spreadsheets. <br />
