<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />C. NARROWS SITE TO BURLINGTON DITCH <br /> <br /> <br />A study was made of the exchange potential of water from <br /> <br /> <br />the Narrows site up to the Burlington Ditch by extending the above <br /> <br /> <br />studies downstream to the Narrows. It was found that during practi- <br /> <br />cally all periods in which Denver water reached Kersey, the water <br /> <br />also reached the Narrows site and was included in the Kersey water <br /> <br />into the Narrows reservoir. Therefore, the exchange potential from <br /> <br /> <br />the Narrows site up to the Burlington Ditch is essentially the same <br /> <br /> <br />as from the Weld County site as shown on Table 3. It should be <br /> <br /> <br />stressed that the exchange potential from the Narrows site up to <br /> <br /> <br />the Bijou and Riverside DitChes, Table 1, would be reduced by an <br /> <br /> <br />amount equal to any exchanged to the Burlington Ditch. <br /> <br /> <br />D. EXCHANGE POTENTIAL UNDER ESTIMATED 1990 CONDITIONS <br /> <br /> <br />A study was made by Mr. W. W. Wheeler relative to the <br /> <br /> <br />amount of additional return flow which would accrue to the South <br /> <br /> <br />Platte River under the condition of full development by the City <br /> <br />of Denver of the Fraser, Williams and Blue River water sources. <br /> <br />This study was expanded by the Bureau of Reclamation to <br /> <br />arrive at the monthly amounts of water which would be in the South <br /> <br />Platte River during the study period in addition to the historic <br /> <br />flows, due to potential future Aurora and Englewood imports, full <br /> <br />development of the Colorado-Big Thompson project, future develop- <br /> <br />ment of additional municipal supplies in the South platte area <br /> <br />above Kersey, increased accretions to the river as a result of <br /> <br />- 9 - <br />
