<br />9. GAGING STATIONS <br /> <br />"- <br /> <br />The USGS operates eight gaging stations, as included in Appendix B, <br />under their "Collection of Basic Records" program and through funding <br />agreements with the Corps of Engineers and the Administration. For <br />federal fiscal year 1990-1991 (October 1, 1990 to September 30, <br />1991) the Administration approved a cooperative agreement with the <br />USGS in the amount of $24,B50, The Administration was assessed <br />one half of this amount, or $12,425. These funds were used for <br />supplemental measurements at seven gaging sites, the operation of one <br />station (Arkansas River near Granada, Colorado), operation of a <br />telemark gage at John Martin Dam, maintenance of radio equipment, <br />and the preparation of records for this annual report. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In general, streamflow records of satisfactory accuracy were obtained <br />at the Compact stations. Emphasis was again placed on obtaining <br />more field data, particularly in the form of discharge measurements at <br />various stages of flow. Several more measurements were made by the <br />USGS at each site than are required under its agreement with the <br />Administration, Additional measurements were made by personnel of <br />the Colorado State Engineer which were also incorporated into the <br />records. The only significant problem at the stations during the year <br />was the continuing unstable channels and controls. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />, <br />I <br />" <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br />ARC",.., <br />
