5. Water Diversion Measurement
a. Measurement
Water directly diverted and/or diverted to storage was measured
b. Types of measuring devices used
  • Other: Capacity of diversion works: flume 24" x 12", estimated to be 100 gpm
c. Additional technology used
  • Other
Description of additional technology used Estimate of volume diverted is based upon historic and current use by flume or ditch 24" wide by 12" deep, which approximates, according to past reports filed, 100 gallons per minute. Per month, this gives 4,320,000 gallons per month, or 13.26 Ac Ft. (4,320,000 gal / 325,851 gal per Ac Ft.) As the water flows decrease during the late summer and fall, the amount diverted is reduced also. These values are estimated and not calculated, and are provided to give relative values for this report.
d. Who installed your measuring device(s)
  • Other: Prior owner of Spanish Ranch
e. Make, model number, and last calibration date of your measuring device(s) N/A
f. Why direct measurement using a device listed in Section 1 is "not locally cost effective"
  • No power at diversion point
  • Other
Explanation of why use of devices and technologies listed in Section 1 are "not locally cost effective" User is considering various options for more accurately measuring actual water diversion and use.
g. Method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement
  • Modeled/estimated flows
  • Pipe/trajectory method
Explanation of method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement As stated in 5c, above, estimate of volume diverted is based upon historic and current use by flume or ditch 24" wide by 12" deep, which approximates, according to past reports filed, 100 gallons per minute. Per month, this gives 4,320,000 gallons per month, or 13.26 Ac Ft. (4,320,000 gal / 325,851 gal per Ac Ft.) As the water flows decrease during the late summer and fall, the amount diverted is reduced also. These values are estimated and not calculated, and are provided to give relative values for this report.
6. Purpose of Use
Domestic 18 homes and trailers
Irrigation 150 Acres
Stockwatering 60-80 cows and horses
Other Dust abatement, in-stream, and fire protection
7. Changes in Method of Diversion
None 
8. Conservation of Water
a. Are you now employing water conservation efforts? No
Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated
b. Amount of water conserved Acre-Feet
I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to conservation efforts.
9. Water Quality and Wastewater Reclamation
a. Are you now or have you been using reclaimed water from a wastewater treatment facility, desalination facility, or water polluted by waste to a degree which unreasonably affects such water for other beneficial causes? No
b. Amount of reduced diversion
Type of substitute water supply
Amount of substitute water supply used
I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to the use of a substitute water supply
10. Conjuctive Use of Surface Water and Groundwater
a. Are you now using groundwater in lieu of surface water? No
b. Amount of groundwater used
I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to the use of groundwater.
11a. Additional Remarks
Water not directly used is allowed to remain in Spanish Creek for beneficial uses of wildlife and habitat. Excess water from irrigation returns to Spanish Creek. The actual volume of such water used for wildlife, habitat and return is not measured and is not known.
