<br />l7 <br /> <br /> <br />C~179~) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />WATER RIGHTS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Table 4 lists pertinent data concerning water rights of <br />ditches and reservoirs in the Purgatoire valley between the dam site <br />and the mouth of the river, exclusive of works located on tribu- <br />taries. Since numerous transfers have taken place, Table .5 is in- <br />cluded to show the grouping of decrees by ownerships, in order of <br />their present location on the river below the dam site and as shown <br />on drawings 256-D-l09 and 256-D-IIO. <br />Upstream Rights <br />Since the water supply studies are based on recorded flows <br />at Trinidad, past upstream diversions are automatically taken into <br />account. It is not anticipated there will be future stream depletion <br />to affect adversely the use of water below the dam site. <br />Trinidad and Vicinity <br />All decrees listed in Table 5, except the Nine Mile and <br />the Highland, apply to this area. The Model Reservoir of l.5,OOO <br />acre-feet capacity, and Johns Lake, of 345 acre-feet capacity, are <br />units of the Model system and are the only storage facilities in <br />the valley. They are served by the Model and Johns Flood canals <br />operating in accordance with the recent "Parks" decision, which <br />allows reservoirs to store water in accordance with their legal <br />priority. Before the decision, all direct flow rights were accorded <br />seniority over all storage rights. <br /> <br />. <br />
