<br />Presentation of Results <br /> <br />The 1994 LRCWE report includes an executive summary, final report and two technical appendices. <br />The technical appendices contain all the data used and presents them in both tabular and graphical <br />formats. <br /> <br />Colorado River Basin Physical Water Supply <br /> <br />The 1994 LRCWE study identified four reaches in the Colorado River to conduct determinations of <br />physical water availability. The four reaches are: <br /> <br />. Reach I: Rifle to the Grand Valley Project (GVP) Diversion Dam <br />. Reach 2: Grand Valley Project Diversion Dam to the Top of the 15 Mile Reach <br />. Reach 3: 15 Mile Reach (Grand Valley Irrigation Company (GVIC) diversion dam to <br />Gunnison River confluence) <br />. Reach 4: Gunnison River confluence to Colorado-Utah state line. <br /> <br />These reaches closely correspond to the various river sections where endangered fish flows have <br />been or will be recommended. Data generated for Reach 3 was used to identify impacts of making <br />endangered fish flows within the 15 Mile Reach. <br /> <br />Streamflow and Diversion Records <br /> <br />For the 15 Mile Reach the following data was used: <br />. USGS Station - Colorado River near Cameo - 09095500 <br />. USGS Station - Plateau Creek near Cameo - 09105000 <br />. GVP Diversions <br />. GVIC Diversions <br /> <br />The UGSG Station (9106150) below the GVIC diversion dam was not used in determining physical <br />availability due to its short period of record, but it was used to verify the methodology used in <br />calculating the flows. GVP hydropower and Orchard Mesa Irrigation District (aMID) pumping <br />plant diversion records through the GVP were not available and had to be estimated. <br /> <br />6 <br />
