What this gage meters

This is not a natural stream record. The Vidler Tunnel moves water from Peru Creek, Snake River basin (Div 5) into Clear Creek headwaters near Argentine Pass (Div 1) — 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.

This gage measures the Vidler Tunnel, water carried across the Continental Divide. It is taken from Peru Creek, Snake River basin (Div 5) and delivered to Clear Creek headwaters near Argentine Pass (Div 1) — so what this gage reads leaves one river basin for good and arrives in another.

The two ends: Vidler Tunnel West Portal (source, on Peru Creek); Vidler Tunnel (receiving, on Leavenworth Creek)
