The water rights are as follows: <br /> <br />11. Platte Valley Ditch Water Rights <br />These water rights, which were originally decreed to the Platte Valley <br />Ditch with a headgate on the left bank of the South Platte midway <br />between the Epperson and the Farmers and Gardeners Ditches, were <br />transferred in 1956 to a well field near the confluence of Clear Creek <br />with the South Platte. <br /> <br /> 1981 Basin /lmount Appropri at ion Adjudication <br />Ditch Rank (cfs) Date Date <br />Pi at te Vall ey 1,047* 6.00 05/15/1862 06/17/1892 <br /> 507 14.50 09/10/1878 12/10/1883 <br /> 20.50 <br /> <br /> 1981 Bas in Amo un t Appropri at ion Adj udication <br />Ditch Rank (cfs) Date Date <br />Brantner 8 29.77 04/01/1860 04/28/1883 <br /> 94 5.93 05/01/1863 04/28/1883 <br /> 315 12.18 07/01/1872 04/28/1883 <br /> 593 63.30 01/15/1881 04/28/1883 <br /> 111.18 <br /> <br />14. Bri ghton Ditch <br />The Brighton Ditch diverts irrigation water from the left bank of the <br />South Platte River opposite the southern edge of the Town of Brighton <br />and approximately 32 river miles downstream from Chatfield Dam. <br /> <br />*The basin rank shown in the State Engineer's tabulation for Water <br />District 2 was number 66, whereas the tabulation for Water District 8 <br />shows basin rank 1,047. <br /> <br />The water rights are listed as follows: <br /> <br />12. Fulton Ditch <br />The Fulton Ditch diverts irrigation water from the right bank of the <br />South Platte at a point one half mile south of the 104th Avenue bridge. <br />The water rights are as follows: <br /> <br /> 1981 Basin /lmount Appropri ation Adjudication <br />Ditch Rank (cfs) Date Date <br />Brighton 109 22.22 12/01/1863 04/28/1883 <br /> 298 22.58 11/01/1871 04/28/1883 <br /> 44.80 <br /> <br /> 1981 Basin /lmount Appro pri at ion Adjudication <br />Ditch Rank (cfs) Date Date <br />Fulton 143 79.70 05/01/1865 04/28/1883 <br /> 451 74.25 07/08/1876 04/28/1883 <br /> 551 50.23 11/05/1879 04/28/1883 <br /> 204.18 <br /> <br />Future Low Flow Projections <br />For the future, the prospect for reasonable minimum flows through Denver to <br />accommodate sewage treatment plant effluent dilution, to satisfy irrigation <br />needs, to flush petroleum products, to maintain aquatic and terrestial wild- <br />life, and to provide adequate flow for boating activities appears poor. <br /> <br />The reason for this grim projection is urban water management optimization <br />for municipal water supply. In effect, the urban water supply managers have <br />done an excellent job of planning and executing water management strategies <br />
