What this gage meters
This is not a natural stream record. The Busk-Ivanhoe Tunnel moves water from Ivanhoe, Lyle, Hidden Lake and Pan Creeks, Fryingpan basin (Div 5) into Busk Creek to Turquoise Lake, Arkansas basin (Div 2), operated by Pueblo Board of Water Works & Aurora Water (Busk-Ivanhoe system) — so this record is a ledger of those deliveries. Trends here reflect operational and demand decisions, not the basin's hydrology, and the basin trends page marks it accordingly (⇆). All of Colorado's curated transbasin diversions are collected at /transbasin.
