Within the physical <br />limitations of stream gaging the agenoies obtaining records at Compact <br />gaging stations have complied with these regulations. <br /> <br />. <br />The station desoription includes a statement in regard to the general <br />aoouraoy of the reoords. "Excellent" indioates that, in general, the daily <br />reoords are accurate within 5 per cent; "good", within lO per oent; "fair", <br />within 15 per oentl and "poor", 16 per cent or greater. These standards of <br />aocuracy are the same as those followed by the Geologioal Survey. <br /> <br />Acknowledgments <br /> <br />Water supply data contained in the following pages of this report have <br />been supplied by Federal and State agenoies, and by several individuals, <br /> <br />The offioe of the State Engineer of Colorado furnished reoords of dis- <br />oharge of the following: <br /> <br />Rio Grande near Del Norte, Colorado. <br />Rio Grande near Lobatos, Colorado. <br />Conejos River near Mogote.
