Don La Font Ditch at Piedra Pass (Combined)
Transbasin diversion gage · DLFCMBCO · Division 7 · Water District 78 · Mineral County
What this gage meters
This is not a natural stream record. The Don La Font Ditches moves water from Piedra River headwaters at Piedra Pass (Div 7) into Rio Grande headwaters (Div 3) — 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.
The record
