<br /> <br />co <br />0') <br />~J) <br />C\1 <br />..C <br />t:.. <br /> <br />WATER SUPPLY <br /> <br />The recorded flow passing the gaging station on the Rio <br />Grande near Del Norte, Colo. during the 1959 calendar year <br />was 55% of the 70 year average. Similarly, the flow passing <br />the station on Rio Grande at Otowi Bridge near San Ilde- <br />fonso, N. Mex. was 37% of the 60 year average.. The large <br />increase in debits may have been affected by below average <br />runoff. <br /> <br />Accuracy of records <br /> <br />The Rules and Regulations of the Commission state that <br />the equipment, method, and frequency of measurement at each <br />gaging station shall be sufficient to obtain records at least <br />equal in accuracy to those classified as "good" by the U. S. <br />Geological Survey. Within the physical limitations of stream <br />gaging, the agencies obtaining the records at Compact gaging <br />stations have complied with these regulations. <br /> <br />The station description states the degree of accuracy of <br />the records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the <br />error in the daily records is believed to be less than 5 per- <br />cent; "good" less than 10 percent; "fair", less than 15 per- <br />cent; and "poor", probably more than l5 percent. The records <br />of monthly runoff are, in general, more accurate than the <br />daily records. These standards of accuracy are the same as <br />those followed by the U. S. Geological Survey. <br /> <br />Acknowledgements <br /> <br />The water-suPPly data contained in this report have been <br />furnished by various Federal and State Agencies. <br /> <br />The office of the State Engineer of Colorado furnished <br />records of discharge on the following: <br /> <br />Rio Grande near Del Norte, Colo. <br />Conejos River near Mogote, Colo. <br />San Antonio River at Ortiz, Colo. <br />Los Pinos River near Ortiz, Colo. <br />Conejos River near La Sauses, Colo. <br />Rio Grande near Lobatos, Colo. <br /> <br />Records of 6 transmountain diversions and of storage in <br />Squaw, Trout, Shaw, and Poage Lakes, Rito Hondo, Troutvale <br />No.2, Jumper Creek, Alberta Park, Beaver Park, Mill Creek, <br />Fuchs, and Trujillo Meadows Reservoirs were also furnished by <br />the office of the State Engineer of COlorado. <br /> <br />The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, Monte Vista, Colo., fur- <br />nished records for Platoro Reservoir and for Conejos River be- <br />low Platoro Reservoir, Colo. <br /> <br />3l <br /> <br />
