Where this page's figures come from
Generated 2026-10-14 17:36 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.
The record and the river
What DWR has on file
DWR lists this structure as RESERVOIR on BATTLE CREEK. 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 5103753 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.

DWR’s record for
this dam carries no WDID and no matched NID id, so it is joined by
name and position: “DALE #2”
0.199 mi away.
More than half of Colorado’s jurisdictional dams can be reached no other
way; judge the match before relying on it. Hazard class describes the
consequence of failure, not the likelihood of it.

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 C (4/10 points) — the components below are the finding; the letter alone is not.
The rubric, component by component
