<br />VIII. <br />IX. <br /> <br />4. Factors affecting the calculation of daily local return flows are numerous and <br />include: gaging inaccuracies, variable operation of upstream irrigation and <br />power diversions, precipitation, and icing problems. <br /> <br />5. In addition to characterizing the local inflows to the critical reach, the study <br />provided data needed to support cwcs's instream flow filing. Based on <br />previous years' results, CWCB filed for a 300 cfs instream flow right in Case <br />No. 94CW330. The 300 cfs claim was again supported in 1996 with local <br />inflows calculated to be more than 300 cfs for a period of 21 days in July. <br /> <br />VII. Recommendations: <br /> <br />The past six years of data collection have provided sufficient information to generally <br />characterize the local inflows to the 15-Mile Reach. Additional years would strengthen <br />the general conclusion drawn, and provide a larger data base for statistical analysis. <br />With the CWCB completing the instream flow filing, however, there appears to be no <br />need to continue data collection and analysis. <br /> <br />Project Status: Ongoing and on track. <br /> <br />FY-9IBUdget: <br /> <br />Funds provided: <br />Funds expended: <br />Difference: <br /> <br />$ 20,000 <br />$ 3,492 <br />$ 16,508. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Each year $20,000 to $25,000 is set aside to be spent for the Water Rights Specialists <br />(Consultant Services).
