<br />- 8- <br /> <br /> <br />l',~in':n <br /> <br />The lllllzac winter flow is low due to diversions for North Sterling <br /> <br />and Prewitt reservoir. <br /> <br />It may be noted here that during this 20 year period, Conservancy <br />District records show an average supply of "original" water entering the <br />District (at the canyons of the four tributary streams and Ft. LuptOn) of <br />about 823,009 acre-feet. <br />Apparently, after serving nearly 500,000 acres in the upper five <br />',vater Districts, 509,000 acre-feet or 62% of the base lIupply (including IIOIlle <br />flam. surpluses) shows up at Kersey. <br />On the face of these figures 314,000 acre-feet was consumed in' the <br />upper Districts or about 63% of an acre-foot per acre. <br />Duririg the past six years an average of 211,009 acre-feet of Project <br />water has been delivered into the streams, increasing the base supplies and <br />undoubtedly raising the Kersey discharges. <br />It should be mentioned also that the longest protracted drouth peridd <br />of "original" supplies on record occurred in this twenty year period. The <br />four years of 1953-1956 averaged less than one-half the long time mean. As <br />reflected at !(ersey, the four year average was only 38% of the twenty year <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The following table summarizes what happens to the river east of !{el'set: <br /> <br /> <br />period. <br /> <br /> , <br />I~ District No. -~- <br />1 District 1<0. 64 Both Districts <br /> r: <br />Kersey 509,200 Balzac 257,700 Kersey 509,20<il <br />-- <br />+ Ueturn 303,390 + Return 267,160 + Return 570,559 '. . <br />,-- <br />---- , <br /> 812,590 524,860 1,079,75~ <br /> - '. <br />- Diversions 554,890 - Diversions 206,160 = Diversions 761,05~ <br />I B;lz-;;; 257,700 Julesburg 318,700 Ju1esburg 318,700: , <br />____L...._ <br /> <br />','- <br /> <br />"'c_;_ <br /> <br />
