VALLE VISTA AUG PLAN ☆ My Water

In short

VALLE VISTA AUG PLAN holds 2 decreed rights. A call at HAYDEN SUPPLY DITCH on GREENHORN CREEK (1866-04-30) currently reaches it: fully called out. 19 further calls state no district and sit outside this one, so they are counted here rather than assumed either way. That is today's position; the weeks ahead cannot be projected for it: this structure is not on the modelled flow network, so no reference gage can honestly stand in for it.

Assembled from the figures on this page — every number above is checked against them before it is shown (3 checked). The detail, with its method, is in the cards below.

Current administration

● Fully called out — call at HAYDEN SUPPLY DITCH (GREENHORN CREEK, priority 1866-04-30).

Which of its rights are out of priority?

The outlook for the weeks ahead is not computable for this structure: this structure is not on the modelled flow network, so no reference gage can honestly stand in for it. Today’s position is a separate question, and it is answered in Current administration above — that screen reads the district’s active calls and needs no reference gage.

Where it sits in line

Priority 1868-04-01 — 49th most senior of the 704 structures with decreed rights in this water districtDWR's administrative subdivision of a river basin; the unit calls are usually stated in..

Under prior appropriationColorado's rule for sharing water: first in time, first in right. Age decides, not proximity or need., everything ahead of it in this line is satisfied in full before it receives any water. Immediately ahead: SHURTZ DITCH (1868-04-01)☆. Immediately behind: PIERSON SPRING DITCH (1868-05-01)☆.

Decreed rights (2)

Amounts marked cfs are flow rates; AF are stored volumes (storage rights are decreed in acre-feet). An absolute amount of 0.0 beside an alt-point amount is not a dead right: the water is decreed at another structure, and that row records permission to divert it here instead (an alternate point or exchange). A case listing several numbers reflects the original decree plus later change cases.

How much of this decree was in priority, by day

A right is in priority on a day when it is senior to every call administering this structure. Of its 0.141 cfs decreed rate, the average day over the last 6 year(s) had 0.126 cfs in priority (90% of the decree). No call in effect is a free river — that was 0.0% of days.

On 263 days some rights were in priority and others were not — seniority splits a decree rather than switching it off. Calls are set and released at a time of day, not at midnight, so a day is counted by the hour: a call setting at 4pm costs that day a third of its rate, not all of it.

This is paper water. It is the decreed rate that was in priority — not water that was physically in the stream, and not water this structure diverted. A ditch can be in priority for 50 cfs on a day the creek carries five. What that distinction means →
