L,tal dissolved solids will <br />be used as representative af mineral quaI; tv. Table I is a compilation <br />of flow and TDS data f'Jr stations sampl",d by the Bureau of Reclamation <br />in the Yellow Jacket area. The maximu," and minimum fl'JW and TDS concen- <br />trations are given along with the average flew and the flow weighted <br />means of the IDS concentration. <br /> <br />Figure 3 shows the IUS pickup ,'n a L,ns'.per-year basis in the White <br />River as the water leaves th~ mountains and Enters the plains. The <br />polluting effect of Meeker Spring is readily seen from the figure. <br /> <br />Water used fer irrigatio'1 in the Yampa Bas in comes from ThOl;nburg <br />Reservoir having a flow weighted medn IDS uf 256 mg/l. The water used <br />for irrigation in the White RivET Basin will consist of impoundments in <br />Lost Park Reservoir and White River flows. Stored water in Lost Park <br />Reservoir will be released to the White River and mixed with the normal <br />flow and yield a flow weighted mean TDS of appraximately 160 mg/l at <br />the head gate of Josephine Canal. <br />
