PLATTE RIVER BASIN

WIND RIVER NEAR ESTES PARK, CO

LOCATION.--Lat 40º19’38”, long 105º34’53”

DRAINAGE AREA.--N/A

GAGE.--Graphic water-stage recorder with satellite telemetry in a wooden shelter with a concrete well and a
4’ Parshall flume. The electric drop tape is the primary reference. The DCP is the primary record
with chart backup. The Parshall flume and the well were replaced in August of 1995 due to extreme
settling over the years.

REMARKS.--The record is hourly satellite data with chart back-up. It is complete and reliable except for the
following days: November 1, 2001 thru April 16, 2002 when closed for winter. This is a partial
year record station operated as part of the Colorado Big Thompson Project. The record is good,
except for November 1 and April 16 which were estimated. Stream flows are affected by diversions
above the station amounting to approximately 300 AF per water year. Station maintained and record
developed by Merlin Friedrichsen.
