Snowpacks were below normal in all areas Individual watersheds ranged from only 28 percent of average for Green Mountain to 37 percent at Lake
Granby
With good March precipitation at high elevations snowpack gains were above normal in nearly all watersheds However even with above normal gains average snowwater contents remain much below normal for the season May 1 snowpack water contents were below average for all water sheds within the Western Division System
In nearly all areas the snowpacks were depleted by amounts in excess of normal Thus snowwater contents expressed as a percent of average declined during April Water supply forecasts at allkey forecast points were below normal PRECIPITATION UNDERGROUND WATER r C7 C N

frd RESERVOIRS WATER SUPPLY OUTLOOK FOR UPPER COLORADO BASIN as of January 1 1978
COLORADO RIVER ABOVE CISCO UTAH Heavy precipitation amounts should help alleviate last years drought conditions in the upper reaches of the Colorado River Streamflow forecasts are 110 to 125 in the upper reaches dropping to 109 at Cisco The Gunnison River and tributaries are expected to be near 110 to 120 the Dolores River flow should be near 100 and Lake Powell inflow near 108 of normal
Seasonal precipitation and snowfall amounts vary from above 150 of normal in the upper Colorado Basin along the continental divide to amounts near 50 in the lower Gunnison Basin Generally amounts are heavy in the high elevations and less than normal in the lower areas
Streamflow October through December has been near or above normal in the upper reaches of the Colorado River with inflow to Lake Granby Reservoir 110 of normal Other inflow has been less with 97 for the inflow to Green Mountain Reservoir 64 on the Roaring Fork River at Glenwood Springs and 64 inflow to Lake Powell
Some AprilJuly reservoir inflow forecasts are Blue Mesa 870000 acre feet 128 of average Green Mountain 320000 acre feet 129 Lake Granby 243000 acre feet 126 and Lake Powell 75 million acre feet 109 of average
January 1 storage in Blue Mesa Reservoir was 235000 acre feet 25 of capacity less than the 416000 acre feet at this time last year Dillon Reservoir 129000 acre feet 50 of capacity 214212 acre feet last year Green Mountain Reservoir 64000 acre feet 41 of capacity 83800 acre feet last year Lake Powell 15374900 acre feet 57 of capacity 18018000 last year
GREEN RIVER BASIN The water supply outlook shows a marked improvement from last years record low flows Residual forecasts January through September range from above normal in the headwaters of the Green River in Wyoming near normal on the Duchesne White and Yampa Rivers to much below normal on small tributaries in southeastern Utah
Mild December weather occurred with below normal precipitation at lower elevations but near normal or above throughout the mountainous areas
The seasonal pattern is quite similar The head waters of the Green River have received 115 to 150 of normal precipitation the upper reaches of the Duchesne Yampa and White river drainages have received 80 to 120 of normal while the lower elevation tribu taries in southern Utah have only had about 50 of the normal precipitation
Only a few snow courses were measured on January 1 but these seem to indicate that the high elevation snow is above normal while courses at lower elevations are near normal or below
Runoff during the OctoberDecember period has been below normal reflecting the contin ued low runoff during 1977 The flow on the Green River at Green River Utah was 246000 acrefeet 62 of the 15year 195872 average This low streamflow is typical throughout most of the basin this fall Storage in Flaming Gorge Reservoir is 199 million acre feet 53 of capacity and 12 million acre feet Lower than last year at this time
NOAA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE River Forecast Center Salt Lake City Utah Gerald Williams Hydrologist in Charge 2
The AprilJuly inflow forecast to Fontenelle Reservoir is 10 million acrefeet 122 and the inflow to Flaming Gorge is expected to be 145 million acrefeet 124 of the 15year 195872 average
SAN JUAN RIVER BASIN Below normal precipitation in the San Juan Basin indicates that residual streamflow forecasts will be less than normal although not nearly as low as last year Forecasts are 75 to 95 of normal in the upper catchment basins with a flow forecast of 1067000 acrefeet 87 of normal on the San Juan at Bluff Utah Seasonal precipitation amounts range from 120 of normal in the upper elevations of the San Juan mountains dropping to near 50 in the lower area between Navajo Reservoir and the four corners area December precipitation was 120 of average in the mountains but only 10 to 20 was recorded in the area around Navajo Reservoir Streamflow October through December has been low with 64 on the Animas River at Durango and 42 inflow to Navajo Reservoir Navajo Reservoir contains 977000 acrefeet 57 of capacity and less than the 1145000 acre feet at this time last year The April July inflow forecast for Navajo Reservoir is 475000 acre feet 79 of normal COLORADO BASIN as of January 1 1978

r I AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is one of the largest industries in Division 5 The number of farms showed a decrease from 1970 to 1976 while at the same time farm income also decreased The approximate acres of farm land total 1593893 which is divided into three main areas of agriculture The high mountain area is classed as livestock and grazing The major crop is hay with 34 to 1 ton per acre The grazing land in the area ranges in elevation from 4500 to 12000 feet With this difference in elevation there is a great difference in ability to produce forage for cattle and browse for wild game and sheep Some sites can produce no more than 100 pounds of plant material per acre Other sites in favorable years produce 4000 pounds per acre
The Middle Park area crops are mostly barley potatoes corn and hay Over the last twenty years the cropping patterns have changed in this area Carbondale and Aspen used to be known for potatoes and crops like strawberries were common around Glenwood Springs Today this area is devoted to pasture and hayland with minor acreages of cash crops
The Lower Grand Valley area produces fruits and row crops About 8141 acres of fruit orchards peaches pears and apples
In all three areas combined the approximate yield of wheat andhay is 105700 bushels and 310258 tons There are approximately152548 sheep and lambs and
143276 cattle and calves Livestock is an important part of the agriculture industry However the total number has decreased Cattle and sheep are often summered on land administered by the U S Forest Service and Bureau of Land
Management
Irrigation water is available for many farms in the 3 areas and new planned developments are underway to promote more irrigation water and more uniform distribution of water
There are many organizations designed to assist farmers and ranchers Such organizations as the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service
Farmers Home Administration Bureau of Land Management U S Forest Service and State Forester and Extension Service DAMS The following is a tabulation of all livestock water tank applications which were approved during the 1976 77 irrigation year

In accordance with the MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COLORADO STATE ENGINEER AND TIME LOWER MISSOURI REGION BUREAU OF RECLAMATION the Division 5 hydrographer began operating five stream gaging stations below diversion points on the Fryingpan Arkansas Project on July 1 1976 The responsibility for preparing records began on October 1 1976 The 1977 dater Year records were recently submitted to the Chief Hydrographer for reviewing
Pursuant to the above mentioned memorandum of agreement specifically regarding the transfer of additional required stream gages two additional stream gages were transferred to the Division 5 hydrographer effective October 1
During the 1977 Water Year the Division 5 hydrographer made 127 stream gaging measurements at the five stations for which annual records were computed for publication in Water Resources Data for Colorado Twenty four administrative measurements were made in addition to those above ORGANIZATIONS CORI S OF ENGINCEf

1 r V C 3 tV RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Water Year 1977
Recomendations and suggestions
1 The Water Data Bank has increased the Water Commissioners workload about 25 However we are now getting better records therefore much of this additional time has gone to good use In many cases their records now reflect more user supplied information Considering our mileage allowance problems I have encouraged more user supplied information if the water commissioner feels it is reliable As the Assistant Division Engineer it takes up too much of my time and continues to take even more So far I have been reluctant to pass the increasing amount of paperwork on to the Water Commissioners In most cases I can normally do what needs to be done quicker and more efficiently by doing it myself and with office personnel This procedure has added a 25 workload to the offices workload I feel that the responsiblity for the WDB on the Division level should be eventually placed in the hands of a full time WDB coordinator on the Division level or the water commissioners credentials will need to be upgraded in the very near future For instance in the larger more complex districts it is already necessary to look to the college graduate as probable replacements A new man coming into a position as commissioner by himself has such a tremendous amount of initial information he must quickly digest concerning water law WDB well information ect that he can no longer have just the credentials of the past and get by One added benefit to upgrading water commissioner credentials would be an expected accompaning increase in pay which would help to keep our highly capable commissioners from seeking higher paying jobs elsewhere
2 Possibly the computer could be used to produce the initial blank water commissioner reports at the beginning of the water year This would save us a great deal of time in hand copying information and expense in xeroxing master copies for each district Prepared computer sheets would be easier to compare against for verification purposes later because the sheets would all have the same format Once a given water years records are checked approved and signed that years records need to be sealed so that additional data cant be added or subtracted without special handling Our part time water commissioners and deputies should be given some of the historic WDB work during the non irrigation season They need the work so they can remain employed and not be on unemployment Such a procedure would really help our Division
3 Within the next two to three years the number of water commissioners in Division 5 will need to be at least double our present force This is due to increased pressure from water users for adequate records of their diversions The number of adjudicated water rights in this division has doubled since 1969 and better than 90 of these rights are used and are in priority during a normal irrigation year With our present work force we cant protect the water users valuable property right because we cant produce a good record on each and every decreed water right
