WIND RIVER NEAR ESTES PARK, CO

LOCATION.—N/A

DRAINAGE AREA.—N/A

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

REMARKS.--Record is complete and reliable except for the following periods: Nov. 5-30; Dec. 1-31, 1996; Jan.
1-Mar. 27; Apr. 15-28, 1997 when the station was closed for the winter. Record was affected by the
ink pen being off on July 15-16, 1997. The record is good except for periods of no gage-height
record and ice affect record which is poor. Station maintained and record developed by Merlin
Friedrichsen.
