<br />Table 6: Precipitation Data as a percentage of Average. <br /> <br /> Year Rangely Rifle Collbran Meeker <br /> 1976-77 72% 71% 76% <br /> 1977-78 116% 95% <br /> 1978-79 105% 118% 102% <br /> 1979-80 106% 113% <br /> 1980-81 168% 129% 119% 121% <br /> 1981-82 177% 139% 131% 140% <br /> 1982-83 168% 141% 112% <br />(1) Indicates missing data. <br /> <br />Table 6 shows the wide variation of precipitation between four relatively close precipitation <br />sites, the 1976-77 water-year was well below average at three sites, the 1977-78 water-year was <br />above average for one site and below average for one site, the 1980 -83 water-years were above <br />average for all sites. It is staffs opinion that the seven years of stream-flow data analyzed is <br />representative of average to above average stream-flow. Figure 4 below shows the East Fork <br />Parachute Creek stream flow for the 1976-1983 time period. <br /> <br />Figure 4: <br /> <br />VI <br />LL. <br />U <br />C <br />.ooj <br /> <br />, <br />Q) <br />~ <br />"- <br />III <br />J: <br />U <br />CIl <br />.ooj <br />= <br /> <br />East Fork Parachute Creek Nr RnviI Points.
