BUSK-IVANHOE SYSTEM OPER

Structure dossier · WDID 3807114 · E · DWR record

Busk-Ivanhoe System Oper is a water structure in Colorado. This page is its public record: the water it has a right to, whether it may take it today, and its history, compiled from the Colorado Division of Water Resources.

Where this page's figures come from

Generated 2026-10-14 19:02 by Hydrohistorian. Sources: DWR HydroBase snapshot HydroBase_CO_20260928 (history) + CDSS REST (current), USGS NWIS cross-checks. Engine v0.5.0 (dd58e60) — every figure regenerates from this named code version and data image.

Who owns it

DWR’s own records name no owner for a ditch, reservoir or well, so this comes from the source shown and can be out of date. Organisations only: a private landowner’s name is never listed.

The record and the river

This is water crossing the divide

Busk-Ivanhoe System Oper is the source end of the Busk-Ivanhoe Tunnel (tunnel). It takes water from Ivanhoe, Lyle, Hidden Lake and Pan Creeks, Fryingpan basin (Div 5) and delivers it to Busk Creek to Turquoise Lake, Arkansas basin (Div 2). Water leaving here is an export: it never reaches the rest of this basin.

The other end: Busk-Ivanhoe System 1104612

Metered as a facility: BUSTUNCO — the record for the crossing itself, which may run longer than the record for either structure.

Owner / operator: Pueblo Board of Water Works & Aurora Water (Busk-Ivanhoe system)

What DWR has on file

DWR lists this structure as E. Beyond that identity, no decreed water rights and no diversion records are on file for it.

That is a statement about the public record, not about the structure: a well group, an augmentation plan component or a recently inventoried structure can be real and administered while carrying no separate decree and reporting no diversions of its own. The DWR record for 3807114 is the authority.

What is in the bundle
  • rights.csv — every decreed right, most senior first, with admin numbers, dates, amounts, uses and case numbers.
  • annual_use.csv — recorded diversion by year, with releases accounted separately.
  • curtailment_now.csv — each right's current priority status and how often it was out across analog years.
  • court_cases.csv — the cases attached to its rights.
  • co_parties.csv — the other structures that were parties to those cases. Not available anywhere else.
  • call_climatology.csv — how often each right has been out of priority by week of season, with confidence intervals and the seasons the record could actually judge.
  • README.txt — provenance, methods, limits, disclaimer, and links back to DWR's own records for verification.

Which of its rights are out of priority?

The outlook for the weeks ahead is not computable for this structure: no decreed right on file, so there is no priority to test.

How good is our record of it?

Grade D (3/10 points) — the components below are the finding; the letter alone is not.
