This hydrology study was done <br />as a part of the Fort Collins Flood Insurance Study prepared <br />for the Federal Insurance Administration. <br /> <br />BASIN DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />Dry Creek is a tributary of the poudre River draining <br />approximately 80 square miles of sparsely populated farm land <br />and range land north of Fort Collins. Numerous lakes are scattered <br />about the basin serving as storage reservoirs for local irrigation <br />companies. Most of these lakes are located offstream and have no <br />effect on Dry Creek flood flows other than storage of runoff that <br />drains directly to the lakes, Drainage area surrounding these <br />lakes totals approximately 10 square miles, effectively reducing <br />the Dry Creek basin area by 13 percent. These offstream lakes <br />include the following: <br /> <br />Lindenmeier Lake <br />Long Pond <br />Richard Lake <br />Terry Lake <br />Black Lake <br />Dixon Reservoir <br />Reservoir No. 4 <br />Kulver Reservoir <br />Reservoir No. 3 <br />Rocky Ridge Lake <br />Curtis Lake <br />Gilmore Lake <br />Cavelry Lake <br />Spitzer Lake <br />Miner's Lake <br />
