• one-sixteenth of an inch. Of course, under average or above <br />average flow conditions the effect would be even less. Water <br />rights are being transferred to these proposed well locations. <br />As shown by these calculations however, the effect on the water <br />levels in the White River will be very minor. Any conflicts with <br />downstream senior water rights are expected to be rare or non- <br />existent. In any case, the priority of uses is determined by the <br />State of Colorado and will be under the state's jurisdiction should <br />any conflict occur. <br />6. CONCLUSIONS <br />The following conclusions are drawn from the information presented. <br />Red Wash drainage does not qualify as an alluvial valley floor under <br />• Colorado regulations because of limited extent of farmable alluvium; <br />low, sporadic water yield; and slightly alkaline water quality. <br />Scullion Gulch also fails to qualify as an alluvial valley floor <br />due to narrow, limited alluvial extent; low sporadic water yield; <br />and alkaline water quality. <br />The alluvial valley floor adjacent to the White River will be <br />affected in a relatively minor way. Agriculturally important <br />vegetation is not dependent on the poor quality groundwater, but <br />is irrigated with surface water. Water table drawdown due to <br />pumping the proposed alluvial wells will be minor because of their <br />proximity to the White River. The large portion of this drawdown <br />\J <br />II.D-25 <br />4/81 <br />
