<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ADMIMISTRATION OF THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER, <br />DISTRICT 2 - MONITORING TRIBUTARY INFLOW <br />UTILIZING REAL-TIME DATA <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The ability to monitor flow conditions of major tri- <br />butaries to the South Platte Riyer on a real-time basis is <br />essential to effective administration of downstream water <br />rights. Three major tributaries enter the South Platte <br />River In the reach between Fort Lupton and Kersey (Dis- <br />trict 2). These tributaries are the St. Vrain Creek, Big <br />Thompson River. and the Cache La Poudre River. These <br />tributaries contribute significant flow to the South <br />Platte River, <br /> <br />The hydrograph shown plots 'real-time discharge data <br />for the gaging stations, St. Vrain Creek at Houth near <br />Pl.tteville (SVCPLACO) and the South Platte River near <br />Kersey (PLAKERCO) for the period June 7-12, 1987. <br />SVCPLACO supplies approximately 2~ of the flow measured <br />at PLAKERCO. A significant hydrologic event on June 9, <br />1987, increased flow at both stations by over 4D~. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Alan Berryman, Division 1 Engineer <br />Keith Delventhal, Water Commissioner.
