What this gage meters
This is not a natural stream record. The Skyline Ditch moves water from Laramie River headwaters (Div 1, WD 48) into Chambers Lake, Cache la Poudre (Div 1, WD 3), operated by Water Supply & Storage Co. — 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
