<br />Nation's water resources. <br /> <br />Programs are developed with <br /> <br />cooperation and financial support from state, local, and <br /> <br />other federal agencies. The programs provide hydrologic, <br /> <br />o <br />CJ1 <br />...... <br />c:.o <br /> <br />geologic, and chemical information for evaluation of surface <br /> <br />and ground water systems as well as for management and policy <br /> <br />decisions. <br /> <br />To provide information required by the federal, state, <br />and local agencies to address Colorado River water quantity <br />and quality problems, the Water Resources Division operates <br /> <br />and maintains a network of about 600 stream gaging stations <br /> <br />and 175 water quality stations in the Colorado River drainage <br /> <br />basin. <br /> <br />Streamflow and water-quality information from these <br /> <br />stations provide input to the hydrologic data base for <br /> <br />Reclamation's Colorado River Simulation System. The USGS <br /> <br />provides data from 11 of 20 stations which Reclamation uses <br />for evaluating salinity control in the Basin. <br /> <br />In addition to collecting hydrologic data, the Water <br /> <br />Resources Division published two reports dealing with <br /> <br />salinity and distributed them to Forum members. The reports <br /> <br />are: Muller, O.K., Osen, L.L., 1988, "Estimation of Natural <br /> <br />Dissolved Solids Discharge in the Upper Colorado River Basin, <br /> <br />Western United States": Water Resources Investigation Report <br /> <br />87-4069 and Muller, O.K., Liebermann, T.D., 1988, "Extension <br /> <br />of Stream Flow and Dissolved Solids Records at Selected <br /> <br />Stations in the Colorado River Basin, Arizona, California, <br /> <br />Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming", 1940-83, <br /> <br />Water Resources Investigation Report 87-4023. <br /> <br />-15- <br /> <br />.".;.;;; <br />
