From Balzac, Colorado to Julesburg, Colorado <br />(Water District 64) <br /> <br />River Inflow - So. Platte at Balzac <br /> <br />207,600 a. f. <br /> <br />Diversions <br /> <br />211,000 a. f. <br /> <br />River Outflow - So. Platte at Julesburg <br /> <br />269,300 a. f. <br /> <br />Accretions = 272,700 a. f. or 130% of diversions of river water <br />(includes unmeasured flow of Lodgepole Creek, etc. <br />and also return flow from releases of reservoir <br />water diverted above Balzac) <br /> <br />Another view of the maghitude of the accretion in percentage or di- <br /> <br />versions is presented if we cohsider the river from Kersey to Julesburg as one <br /> <br />section. The inflow at Kersey is 424,200 acre feet. The diversions between Ker- <br /> <br />sey and Julesburg amount to 746,300 acre feet. Flow passing Julesburg as shown <br />above is 269,300 acre feet so that the inflow at Kersey is only 41.5% of diver- <br /> <br />sions between Kersey and Julesburg, plus outflow at the latter point. <br /> <br />A Bureau of Reclamation study in 1950 showed that the total return <br /> <br />flow in this stretch averaged 552,000 acre feet during the period 1925-1948. <br />
