For this reason, eleven of the canal systems <br />were studied in groups that have water supply interaction <br />within each group. Five canal systems were studied <br />independently. <br /> <br />The groups are as follows: <br />Group #1 (Clav Creek Area): <br /> <br />Ft. Bent Canal <br />Lamar Canal <br />Manvel Canal <br />XY Canal <br /> <br />Group #2 (Patterson Hollow Area) : <br /> <br />Rocky Ford Highline Canal <br />Oxford Canal <br />otero Canal <br />Catlin Canal <br />Rocky Ford Canal <br /> <br />Group #3 (Horse Creek Area) : <br /> <br />Amity Canal <br />Buffalo Canal <br /> <br />The independent canals are: <br /> <br />Bessemer Canal <br />Ft; Lyon Canal <br />Holbrook Canal <br />Las Animas Canal <br />Keese Canal <br /> <br />The canal system grouping was done for purposes of <br />evaluating crop consumptive use and return flows in a water <br />budget computer spreadsheet model hereafter referred to as a <br />system model. Depletion data from this model is input into <br />the Arkansas River model discussed in following sections of <br />this report. <br /> <br />B. system Model <br /> <br />The system model is a monthly water budget analyses <br />developed on a Prelude spreadsheet (AT&T 3B2 computer). The <br />analyses requires a water supply in terms of direct river <br />
