<br />" <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM 1F2d <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />\.\~~ <br /> <br />REPORT OF THE U. S. GEOLOGICAL <br />WATER RESOURCES DIVISION <br />COLORADO DISTRICT <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />Ma rch 14, 1968 <br /> <br />We would like to report on the status of four reports prepared <br />by the Geological Survey. The report on the hydrology of the Piceance <br />Creek Basin for the Colorado Water Conservation Board has been approved <br />and is being finalized for publication as State Circular 12. We expect <br />it will be available for distribution before the next Board meeting. <br /> <br />Cliff Jenkins' report on techniques for computing rate and volume <br />of stream depletion by wells has been distributed to various water agencies <br />in the State and will be published in Volume 6, No.2, of the publication <br />Ground Water, a journal of the National Water Well Association. A <br />subsequent report by Mr. Jenkins describing some of the uses of his <br />techniques is in final review at the District level and will be released <br />to the open-files pending publication in Water Resources Research, a <br />journal of the American Geophysical Union. <br /> <br />Our report of the 1965 floods in the South Platte is scheduled <br />for release June 1968 in the Survey's Water Supply Paper series (WSP 1680). <br /> <br />Our efforts to decrease the time between data collection and <br />data dissemination are producing marked results. Nearly all of our <br />water-quality data has been put in ADP format. A large part of our <br />surface water and ground water data will be available in similar format <br />within the next six months. Utilizing the facilities recently installed <br />at the Federal Center, these data will be published much more rapidly <br />than they have been in the past. Utilizing ADP also permits presenting <br />the information in a wide variety of formats. We are surveying the needs <br />of various water agencies to determine which formats will be most <br />appropriate for future data releases. <br />
