9. Gaging Stations

The U.S. Geological Survey operates eight gaging stations as indicated in
Appendix B under their "Collection of Basic Records"programand through
funding agreements with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Arkan-
sas River Compact Administration. For the federal fiscal year October I,
1986, to September 30, 1987, the compact administration approved a coop-
erative agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey in theamount of$20,580
- $10,290 for each party. The compact administration funds were used for
supplemental measurements at seven gaging sites, the operation of one
station, Arkansas River near Granada, Colorado; operation ofa telemark at
John Martin Dam, maintenance of radio equipment, and the preparation of
records for the annual report.
In general. streamOow records of satisfactory accuracy were obtained at
the Compact stations. Emphasis was again placed on obtaining more field
data, particularly in the form of discharge measurements at various stages of
flow. Several more measurements were made at each site than are required
under agreement with the Compact. Measurements made by personnel of
the Colorado State Engineer were incorporated into the records.
There were no critical problems at the stations during the year, with the
exception of the continuing unstable channels and controls, which in 1987
were more difficult than normal to account for because of the extremely high
runoff.
