The transmountain diversions are placed into <br />storage in Turquoise, Twin Lakes, or Clear Creek <br />Reservoirs when they are brought into the Arkansas <br /> <br />River Basin for later release upon the demand of the <br /> <br />"users, The adjustment to the Canon City gaged flow <br />can be made by subtracting the reservoir releases of <br />transmountain water instead of the diversions into <br />the basin, To the extent that records of reservoir <br />releases of transmountain water are available, this <br /> <br />adjQstment is technically more correct than Method <br /> <br />A, above, <br /> <br />Detailed reservoir accounting records which show <br /> <br />releases of transmountain water are available since <br /> <br /> <br />water year 1975, Prior to that time the records are <br /> <br /> <br />not adequate to determine the releases of trans moun- <br /> <br /> <br />tain water, The reservoir accounting records re- <br /> <br /> <br />quired interpretation and assistance from the <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado Division Engineer's Office to derive the <br /> <br /> <br />adjustments for the Canon City gage, The adjust- <br /> <br /> <br />ments have been derived by the staff of the Colorado <br /> <br />. <br />
