<br />. <br /> <br />18. Results obtained from a hydraulic analysis of a study on Salt Creek near <br /> <br />Pueblo ShOH that flm,s above the 100-yr frequency for Salt Creek are <br /> <br />diverted north along Highway 85-87 and contribute to Lake Hinnequa. A <br /> <br />hydraulic analysis Hill be conducted at a later time to determine the <br /> <br />overall effect of flo\1s at Lake Hinnequa. <br /> <br />19. There are other small dams, stock ponds, canals, and diversion ditches <br /> <br />in the study'but they have no regulatory significance. They divert low <br /> <br />floHS for irrigation, but have minimal effect on major f10HS. <br /> <br />20. Historic Floods. There are no stream floH records for any of the <br /> <br />tributaries considered in this report. 'Available historical records of <br /> <br />floods in the Pueblo region since the mid 1800' s are primarily informative <br /> <br />on flooding effects of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek. References to <br /> <br />the smaller tributary streams in the area appear only rarely in early news- <br /> <br />,paper accounts, and specific information on the intensity, duration, and <br /> <br />magnitude of the storms and flood effects for the study reaches of this <br /> <br />report is generally lacking. <br /> <br />21. Research indicates that the historical floods recorded in 1861" 1894, <br /> <br /> <br />1921, and 1935, involving major flooding in the vicinity of Pueblo, most <br /> <br /> <br />probably included simultaneous flooding on the study reaches as well. <br /> <br />22. Frequency Analysis. The lack of adequate stream flow records in the <br /> <br />study area necessitated adoption of "Hanual for Estimating Flood Character- <br /> <br />istics of Natural-Flow Streams in Colorado," by the U.S.C.S. for deter- <br /> <br />mining discharge-frequency relationships. <br /> <br />5 <br />
