What this gage meters

This is not a natural stream record. The Wurtz Ditch moves water from Eagle River headwaters at Tennessee Pass (Div 5) into Tennessee Creek, Arkansas basin (Div 2), operated by Pueblo Board of Water Works — 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 Wurtz Ditch, water carried across the Continental Divide. It is taken from Eagle River headwaters at Tennessee Pass (Div 5) and delivered to Tennessee Creek, Arkansas basin (Div 2) — so what this gage reads leaves one river basin for good and arrives in another.

The two ends: Warren E Wurts Ditch (source, on South Fork Eagle River); Warren E Wurts Ditch Ext (source, on Yoder Creek); Wurts Ditch (receiving, on Tennessee Creek); Wurts Extension (receiving, on Tennessee Creek)
