ma~itoricly of ttce Overland Ditch water released into Gast Foatcap to the Foberts- <br />Stucker Ditch shows an average transportation loss of 22.38. This loss in any <br />system is dependent rn many factors, such as soil conditions, ditch maintenance, <br />and repair, etc. <br />~~ <br />i'he timing of irrigation flows is important for crop production, t',uch less water <br />is required in the spring because of the cool weather and typically shall devel- <br />oping foliage. Unfortunately, this is the time of highest streamfl ow run-off. <br />Pluch of the water that runs off during the spring is not utilized. More irriga- <br />tion fl vw is necessary during the summer months because of drier ground moisture <br />and higher temperatures. Also, the foliage is more developed. Typically, this <br />late season water is possible only through surface water storage reservoirs such <br />as Overland and Terror F~ servoirs. <br />C47 Water Right Flows: <br />Because of the ca~plexities of precipitation, evapotranspiration, groundwater <br />changes, transportation losses, and timing of run-off and required flows, C4iI <br />believes its approach to water replacement is most effective. CWI will continue <br />to evaluate, mrnitor, and improve water replacement plans. The use of CWI-arced <br />water rights is ttie last protective measure. All other plans to use limited <br />r:,ining, monitor water resources, repair subsidence-induced problems, and improve <br />water transportation systems best approximates historic and projected water <br />usage. <br />As that last protective measure, CWI has designated fl ow within Terror Ditch to <br />augr.~ent flaws in 'i~rror Creek and Coal Oulch. Very little effects to these <br />drainages is projected, but replacement water is avail able. CZ9I proposes to <br />utilize tdest ~servoir flows to possibly augment flays in 'r:est koatcap and gain <br />Roatcap. The Pest ~servoir diversion records are attached. The cast Foatcap <br />Creek and Steven's Q~lch streams do not require replacement wester because of lacy. <br />of subsidence-induced problems and lack of adjudicated Prater rights. <br />Diversion records for all ditches are also attached. <br /> <br />
