The Taylor River above Almont and the lake Fork <br />of the Gunnison were noted as being adversely impacted while the Gunnison River <br />is rarely too low for rafting. <br /> <br />Ohio Creek, Mill Creek, East River, Tomichi Creek and Cochetopa Creek were <br />all noted to suffer from late season flow deficiencies for irrigation water <br />supply. <br /> <br />Although potential future deficiencies of M&I water were noted for several <br />municipalities, present supplies appear adequate. The deficiencies noted are <br />related to facilities and not supply. <br /> <br />Flooding of agricultural land takes place fairly often, however, the <br />resulting damages are not considered great. Serious flooding does occur <br />periodically, however.. The latest serious damage occurred in the spring of <br />1984. Tomichi Creek, Quartz Creek, Cochetopa Creek, East River, Gunnison River <br />and the Uncompahgre River all experienced severe bank erosion during that <br />flood. Roads and bridges were washed out on many streams in the 1984 flood. <br /> <br />-8- <br />
