What this gage meters
This is not a natural stream record. The Homestake Tunnel moves water from Homestake Creek, Eagle River basin (Div 5) into Turquoise Lake, Arkansas River basin (Div 2), operated by Colorado Springs Utilities / Aurora Water — 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
