Where this page's figures come from
Generated 2026-08-27 23:30 by Hydrohistorian. Sources: DWR HydroBase snapshot HydroBase_CO_20260707 (history) + CDSS REST (current), USGS NWIS cross-checks. Engine v0.5.0 (4ab2507) — every figure regenerates from this named code version and data image.

Which of its rights are out of priority?
Not computable for this structure: no decreed right on file, so there is no priority to test.
Recorded use (last 5 years on record)
In a median year this structure has a recorded diversion of 41 AF. Its most recent year on record, 2017, came in at 81 AF — 198% of that, and 4th lowest of the 5 years with a recorded volume.
This structure records both diversions and reservoir releases — they are separate water movements and are accounted separately below.
| Year | Diverted (AFA volume: one acre covered a foot deep, about 326,000 gallons -- roughly a suburban household's outdoor use for a year.) | Compared with its own record | Released (AF) | Days recorded | Peak (cfs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | 163 | 5th lowest of 5 · 398% of median | 163 | 23 | 8.7 |
| 2014 | 41 | 3rd lowest of 5 · 100% of median | 41 | 16 | 3.5 |
| 2015 | 38 | 2nd lowest of 5 · 93% of median | 38 | 9 | 3.0 |
| 2016 | 13 | 1st lowest of 5 · 32% of median | 13 | 4 | 2.9 |
| 2017 | 81 | 4th lowest of 5 · 198% of median | 81 | 8 | 7.0 |
How good is our record of it?
Grade C (5/10 points) — the components below are the finding; the letter alone is not.
The rubric, component by component
| Check | State | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| identity | complete | name, type, and water source all on file |
| decreed rights | absent | no water rights cached for this WDID |
| diversion record | fragment | 60 measured day(s) on file (under 180 -- a season, not a history) |
| record continuity | unknown | record too short to assess continuity (needs 2+ years of span and 180+ measured days) |
| published-record stability | stable | no upstream revisions recorded against this structure |
Advisory reading aid on public data — not an administrative or legal conclusion, not a title opinion, and not a substitute for DWR administration or an engineer's analysis. Methodology review status is disclosed at hydrohistorian's basin pages.
