The main flow in South Boulder Creek joins with Boulder Creek at the <br />historic confluence. At Foothills and the Wellman Ditch, spills to Bear Canyon <br />Creek occur. On the west side of 55th downstream of Arapahoe some overflow <br />from the Wellman traverses through an industrial/commercial area directly to <br />Boulder Creek. Also, flow leaves South Boulder Creek just downstream of <br />Arapahoe through overflows to Valmont. <br /> <br />The model does not depict flow leaving the watershed by following numerous other <br />irrigation ditches and spills to Baseline reservoir, which can occur. The Wellman <br />diversion is treated differently, per sponsors' direction, because its embankment <br />physically crosses the main floodplain, and backs up and redistributes flood waters. <br />The diversion to Valmont would immediately overflow to Boulder Creek and reflects <br />overflow of the headworks. <br />
