<br />O:ln'-'65 <br />'v l':~ <br /> <br />-5- <br /> <br />the Stipnl9.tion, and 4.296 acre feet more than average historic diversions <br /> <br />by the Kansas ditches, which do nct include diversions by the Alamo and <br /> <br />Fort Aubrey ditches. <br /> <br />Comissioner t-lcGrath reported on August 23rd, that crops under <br /> <br />the Alamo ditch ...ere very good and that this ditch apparently had received <br /> <br />e.mple water supplies. The vater used by this ditch, however. was very <br /> <br />largely supplied by the Front~er ditch or fr~n lands irrigated from that <br /> <br />ditch. <br /> <br />Diversions by the' Fort Aubrey ditch in 1943 as reported by Com- <br /> <br />missioner McGrath, were very small. due to de.mages which the ditch incurred <br /> <br />from floods in 1942. <br /> <br />Since the Coloracb ditches below Caddoa Reservoir diverted 118,018 <br /> <br />acre feet, required deliveries to Kansas based upon 44.1 percent of diver- <br /> <br />sions by ditches below Caddoa Reservoir. should have been 52.046 acre feet <br /> <br />instead of actual deliveries of 57,930 acre feet, which shows on this basis, <br /> <br />exoess delivery to Kansas of 5.884 acre feet. <br /> <br />All such diversions in ColOi"ado and deliveries of v.ater to Kansas, <br /> <br />involve no storage water in the sense that this term is used in connection <br /> <br />with uses of stored water by'canals diverting above Caddoa ReselToir. <br /> <br />Diversions of water in 1943 by the Oxford Farmers. Catlin. Rocky <br /> <br />Ford. Le.s Animas Consolidated, and Le.s Animas Town Ditohes, which used no <br /> <br />reservoir or transmountain water. BlI10unted to Z7, 718 acre feet more than <br /> <br />their historio average diversions. while comparable diversions by the Fort <br /> <br />Lyon c!lnal were 14.490 acre feet less than its historic diversions. <br />
