<br />C\J <br />C\J <br />~ <br />C'J <br /> <br />In order to correlate the demand by existing decrees with <br /> <br />water supply, the historic diversions recorded by the district water <br /> <br />commissioner were used. <br /> <br />The period studied has representative water supply years <br /> <br />included and bears a close relation to the long time average; that <br /> <br />is, the average Meeker flow during the study period approximates the <br /> <br />long time Meeker average. <br /> <br />The method of determining inflows above and below the <br /> <br />~;fJ~ <br /> <br />Meadows site during the critical period (May and June) was derived <br /> <br />by relation to Meeker flows, in order that specific historic years <br /> <br />could be compared. This method relates flow at Meadows by means of <br /> <br />a coefficient applied to the Meeker flow. The South Fork at Buford <br /> <br />correlates fairly well with Meeker flows so a differential can thus <br /> <br />be determined for any year. The Meadows coefficient is related to <br /> <br />the Meeker flow through the Trapper's Lake gage. <br /> <br />The Meadows coefficient is arrived at by combining ratios, <br /> <br />on a monthly basis, of Trapper's Lake flow to Meeker flow; Meadows <br /> <br />average altitude-runoff to Trapper's Lake average altitude-runoff; <br /> <br />and the area above Meadows to area above Trapper's Lake. Thus for: <br /> May the coefficient is: <br /> .022 x 1.34 x 2.83 = .091 <br /> June the coefficient is: <br /> .053 x .985 x 2.83 = .170 <br /> <br />-4- <br />
