The gage, Little Snake River near Dixon, WY (9-2570) provides an indication of the annual <br />flows seen in the river. In addition, two tributaries contributing to flow in the river not included in the <br />gage data are Muddy Creek and Willow Creek. Estimates of flows in these tributaries are also provided. <br />Data are taken from USGS reports, which would already reflect depletions. <br /> <br />GaJ(e or Tributary <br /> <br />AveraJ(e Annual Flow, AF <br /> <br />Muddy Creek (1987-1991) <br />Willow Creek (1954-1993) <br /> <br />372,600 <br />10,690 <br /> <br />Little Snake River near Dixon (1911-1971) <br /> <br />7,440 <br /> <br />Total <br /> <br />408,860 <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />These depletions are independent of the amount of water available to Wyoming under provisions of the <br />Upper Colorado River Basin Compact and the Colorado River Compact. The State of Wyoming's <br />apportiorlfnent of the waters of the Colorado River System exists in perpetuity. Wyoming therefore <br />continues to retain the right to develop all its available water resources under those Compacts in <br />accordance with current governmental permitting requirements. <br /> <br />~ <br />r, <br /> <br />Appendix C - Technical Memoranda from Colorado and Wyoming <br /> <br />C-12 <br />
