Under the plan of operation and adJ;J.inistra- <br />tion herein defined, the Kansas credit at 12.4% of the Colorado diversions, <br />would,'have amounted 'to 66.400 A.F. during the 1943 sumner seasan, or 6.900 <br />A.F. more than was actually received by Kansas, and 39.500 A.F. more than <br />would have been'delivered in the absence of Caddo a Reservoir. <br /> <br />(j) During the present month of June 1944, when because of un- <br />usually large rainfall, relatively large streamflows have entered Caddoa <br />lteservoir and have crossed the stateline. and when "ontinued spills will be <br />required to reduoe the storage level in Caddoa Reservoir to the point fixed <br />as the limit of irrigation storage. the divertible and usable stateline <br />flows entering Kansas reaohed a total of 30.000 A.F. in the first 7-1/2 <br />days of June. &ince 30,000 AS. is the maximum ohargeable in anyone sum- <br />mer month, all the Stateline flows reoei ved by Kansas during the balance of <br />the month of June will be free of oharge, under the plan of operation and <br />administration herein defined. <br /> <br />(k) Estimates based on the reoorded flows of the Arkansas River <br />during 19oa~1942 (namely, 514,300 A.F. annually at Ce;non City. and 500,900 <br />A.F. annually at Pueblo), with deduotions for imported supplies. additions <br />for quantities bi-passed around the two gaging stations, and allov.e.nces for <br />intervenin,.; diversions frem and ini'lows to the river, indicaw that the <br />total flow, inoluding floods. entering District JlJ via the main river, aver- <br />aged 565,000 A.F. annually, of which a portion estimated at 80,000 A.F~ an- <br />nually, oocurring at times of major floods and during periods of large <br />plains runOff, was undivertible, and the balance, estimated at 4B5.0c0 A.F. <br />annually, was divertible and usable by ditches in Water Distriots 14. 17, <br />and 67 in Colorado, Since the total diversions in said distriots averaged <br />857,000 A.F. annually, diversions of tributary inflows nnd re-diversions <br />of return flows together approximated 372,000 A.F. annually. - how much of <br />each is uncertain. <br /> <br />(1) Total stateline flows (including flOods) entering Kansas, <br />averaging 278~600 A.F. annually during the pr~Caddoa 1908-1942 period. <br />amounted to nearly half (49.3%) of'too total flow (565.000 A.F, including <br />flOOdS) of the Arkansas River entering District 14. Usable State line flows <br />entering Kansas, averaging 106.200 A.F. annually (per definitions of' the <br />plan of operation and administration herein def'ined), amounted to about <br />22% of the estillla.ted usable !'low of the Arkansas River (485,000 A.F, an- <br />nually) entering Distriot 14 in Colorado. <br /> <br />( 13) <br />
