<br />OOOC.37 <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br />Haintaining the Hi Vel' at Ln Junta. Continued <br /> <br />Hov.ever. the (IlJ1()unt in prospect and the aotu, 1 amount passing La <br />Junta for the antioipated period do not agree. Hr. Hheeler <br />_kes his analysis of the situation on the basis of the evidence <br />at hand at reporting time. As I rave said tl'e prospeotive =Ollnt <br />of water. the amount passing La Junta plus too inflow from the <br />Purgatoire. seemed adequate. And it would have in all propo.b- <br />i11 ty been adequate if the river at La JWlta had Z"el!lll.ined the <br />same during tne day as it was at reporting time. The hoW' at <br />the La Junta which corresponds to the hour at the Amity. wren <br />the lImity started dropping below 283 s.f. was lQAll 8/2. <br /> <br />The l.a JWlta Chart indio""tes that the riv er started fb.l1ing at <br />l.a JWlta at l0Al1 8/2 and by 6PH 8/2 there \'las a deorease in dis- <br />charge at this station of about 100 s.f. After dropping 100 <br />s.f. the riVer remained steady until 6Al'l 813. at which time the <br />amount passing Vias il1Oreased. and by 6l'tl 8/3. the lllllCl1mt pass- <br />ing ms about the S81lB as for 1001 8/2. It is evident from <br />these facts that the river ViaS not maintained frOlll lOAM 8/2 - <br />6PN 8/3. The decrease in -the amount passing La Junta (H),\I'1 8/2- <br />6PH 8/3) and the subsequent increase in the amount passing (6PH <br />8/3 12N 8;4) are coincidental with a corresponding increase in <br />di Version by the Ft. Lyon. and a decrease in diversion by the <br />Ft. Lyon. <br /> <br />It would appear that for about half of the 48 hour period. dur- <br />ing which the Ft. loron was diverting water belonging to the <br />lImity, the ordered go.ge a-t La Junta vas not being maintained. <br /> <br />For the last 24 hoW's of this period the ordered gage for I.a <br />Junta appears not to have been high enough -1;0 oompensate for <br />the decreasing inflow from Purgatoire. <br /> <br />At 6A11 8/4 the amount in prospect passing froLl District ',;"17 to <br />Di strict ',';67 seems to have been too low. <br /> <br />8/4 l.a Junta station - 6MI 8/4 G.R. 3.34 -------- 197 s.f. <br />Purgatoire - 9 mile st. - 6.'ui 8;4 a.H. 2.68 -- 153 <br />;;tJ s. f. <br /> <br />The abOVe total is 50 s.f. under the passing order of 400 s.f. <br />
