15 ,- Lower Barr Lake Canals includes land under the Burlington, O'Brien, Brighton Lateral, Speer, Beebee Seep, and Neres Canals. '~ Water diverted from surface supplies The data for water diverted from surface supplies include water diverted at the headgate of each canal for direct irrigation plus estimates of stored water released from reservoirs, not water diverted from the stream to stor- age. Consequently, the figures do not include water diverted to reservoirs which was lost through seepage and evaporation before it was released from the reservoir. Table 3 shows the total annual average diversion for direct irrigation from the South Platte River, plus the amount released from storage used for irrigation, as compiled by the Bureau of Ileclamation for the IS-year period of 1947 through 1961. The "9-year range" in the table shows the minimum and maximum surface water diverted during 9 of the 15 years, omitting the three low years and the three high years. In other words, the omount diverted fell within the given range duri,ng 60% of the years studied. Table 3. Surface Water Diverted by Water District 2 Canal Systems Canal 15 Yr. Ranqe 9 Yr.
