Part 3 _ Diversion Data (Contd)

The 84,400 AF historically diverted by ditches between the

Stateline and Garden City in Kansas (Table 14) is equivalent to 53.0

percent of the 159,100 AF diverted in Colorado Water District 67 (Table 12).

and to 34.7 percent of the total (243,500 AF) diverted downstream fram

Caddoa in both States, and is equivalent to 9.8 percent of the total

(857,200 AF_Tabl~ 13) diverted in Colorado, and to 9.0 percent of the total

(941,600 AF) diverted in both States.

Summary Table F showe the quantitiee of water diverted during each

water_year of the historio 1908~1942 period, summarized by distriote and

ditoh groupe from Table& 11_n4, and shows the combined total mversions in

both States eaoh year, together with percents of the period average to .

indicate the character of each year, whether above or below average, with

respect to water supplies of the Arkansas River usable for irrigation prio~

to the commencement of storage operations at John Martin Reservoir.

Summary Table G shows the peroents in which the diverted supplies

were divided each year of the historio 1906-1942 period between the several

distriots and the two States. Diversions by ditches in Colorado Water

Districts 14 and 17 above Caddoa varisd.from 67.8 peroent to 52.1 percent

and averaged 74.1 percent of the total diversions in both States. Diversions

by ditches in Colorado Water District 67 below Caddoa varied from 12.0 to

21.2 and averaged 16.9 percent of the total diversions in both States.

Diversions by ditches in Colorado Water Distriots 14, 17 and 67 varied from

86.3 to 95.8 and averaged 91.0 peroent of the total diversions in both States.

Diversions by ditohes between the State line. and Garden City in Kansas varied

from 4.2 to 13.7 and averaged 9.0 percent of the total diversions in both States.

Diversion quantities in 1000 AF units, and district and state diversion

relations in peroents, under the maximum, minimum and average annual water-supply

conditions of the historic 1908~1942 period, were as followsl
