<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />to identify and categorize the water deliveries to the District, based on the available data, For <br />example, historic diversions listed for Harmony Ditch No, 1 include water for direct use outside of <br />the District by the Harmony Ditch Co" and water delivered for direct use on District lands, Le" water <br />for direct use which is run through the Julesburg Reservoir. Also, the District has historically taken <br />delivery of an amount of Harmony Ditch No. 1 direct irrigation diversions which apparently are in <br />excess of its pro rata share of the ditch ownership (14 percent). The actual percentage of deliveries <br />is not known, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Beginning in 1987, the District 64 Water Commissioner has estimated the amount of <br />Harmony Ditch No, 1 water which was diverted for irrigation and delivered to the District. The Water <br />Commissioner's estimates of the irrigation delivery split between Harmony users and the District are <br />also presented In Appendix F, Based upon the four years of record, it appears that the Harmony <br />users annually divert approxlmately.8,400 acre-feet. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Using all of the data available, an estimate of the long-term average water deliveries for the <br />various water rights was made and is summarized in Table 8. No diversion records are available <br />for the Settlers Ditch, In recent years, only limited diversions have been made through the Settlers <br />Ditch, and also apparently some well pumping has been credited against the ditch, See Table F6 <br />in Appendix F, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water Utilization <br />Due to the complexities, inconsistencies, missing or incomplete records, and the number <br />of water sources used for irrigation within the District, it is beyond the scope of this report to <br />analyze In detail the water deliveries for irrigation within the District boundaries, Based upon the <br />data in Appendix F, and assuming the long-term average delivery of Harmony Ditch No.1 water to <br />the Harmony users is reflected by the four years of record in Appendix F, Table F7, we have <br />prepared an estimate of the long-term average monthly water requirement--water supply balance <br />for the District. Table 8 presents the results of the water balance. Canal seepage and evaporation <br />losses were estimated to be about 8,400 acre-feet per year, assuming a loss of 20 percent of the <br />water diverted through the canals. Groundwater withdrawals of about 13,700 acre-feet per year <br />would provide a supplemental water supply to ensure an adequate water supply. Groundwater <br />withdrawals were estimated assuming that any portion of the farm head gate delivery requirements <br />which is not met by the surface water delivered to fields would be met with groundwater (See <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />. <br />
