<br />(:..) WATER SUPPLY 31
<br />~
<br />C'I".l The recorded flow passing the gaging station on the Rio
<br />~Grande near Del Norte, Cola, during the 1961 calendar year
<br />~was 75 percent of the 72 year average, Similarly, the flow
<br />passing the station on Rio Grande at Otowi Bridge near San
<br />Ildefonso, N, Mex. was 69 percent of the 62 year average,
<br />
<br />Accuracy of records
<br />
<br />The Rules and Regulations of the Commission state that
<br />the equipment, method, and frequency of measurement at each
<br />gaging station shall be sufficient to obtain records at least
<br />equal in accuracy to those classified as "good" by the U, S,
<br />Geological Survey, Within the physical limitations of stream
<br />gaging, the agencies obtaining the records at Compact gaging
<br />stations have complied with these regulations.
<br />
<br />The station description states the degree of accuracy of
<br />the records, TlExcellent" indicates that, in 'general, the
<br />error in the daily records is believed to be less than 5 per-
<br />cent; "good" less than 10 percent; "fair", less than 15 per-
<br />cent; and TlpoorTl, probably more than 15 percent. The records
<br />of monthly runoff are, in general, more accurate than the
<br />daily records. These standards of accuracy are the same as
<br />those followed by the U. S. Geological Survey.
