<br />9. GAGING STATIONS <br /> <br />The USGS operates eight compact gaging stations under their "Collection <br />of Basic Records" program and through funding agreements with the Corps <br />of Engineers and the Administration. Data from each of these stations is <br />presented in Appendix B. Since 1 992 all compact gaging stations have <br />been linked via satellite for real time data collection. The availability of this <br />data has facilitated improved water management in the basin. For federal <br />fiscal year 1992-1993 (October 1, 1992 to September 30, 1993) the <br />Administration approved cooperative agreements with the Kansas and. <br />Colorado Districts of the USGS in the amount of $28,600. The <br />Administration was assessed one half of this amount, or $14,300. These <br />funds were used for supplemental stage and flow measurements at compact <br />gaging sites in Colorado and Kansas, the operation of one station (Arkansas <br />River near Granada, Colorado), and the preparation of records for this <br />annual report. <br /> <br />In general, streamflow records of satisfactory accuracy were obtained at the <br />Compact stations. Emphasis was again placed on obtaining more field data, <br />particularly in the form of discharge measurements at various stages of flow. <br />Additional measurements were also made by personnel of the Colorado <br />State Engineer which were incorporated into the records as appropriate. <br />The only significant problem at the stations during the year was the <br />continuing unstable channels and controls. <br /> <br />10.
