Saturday, April 9, I960 GREELEY TRIBUNE 9 NCWCD Area To Have Water Surplus During Decade, Study Reveals By Wldlund C. 0. Plumb, Greclcy farmer tnd former county commissioner, said a study he has just completed indicates the area within the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy district can expect a surplus of water during tho 1960s. Storage facilities will bo inadequate, however, Plumb said, to conserve any of the surplus water for a 10-year subnormal period likely to follow. "What are we going to do with our water?" Plumb asked.

Are we going to a i i the kicks and bruises of experience tell us what to do?" Urgis Effort To Figura Surplus He urged that an effort be made "to figure out as best we can what our normal surplus will be and start making provisions to use this water." Plumb cited the following facts and figures in support of. his idea that a surplus can be expected in the current 10-year period: Inflow Best Measure "The inflow to the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy district is the best measure of our oast slope water supply. It is correlated with our precipitation, fo a large extent, eventually determines our other water suoplies. "Total irrigation, because of re- Use pumps and return flow, is two and a hall times the inflow to the district. "Inflow has been measured for 55 years and follows a pattern 10 years, with average abovenorma: flow followed by 10 years of below-normal flow.

Sunspot Activity Affects a i a "This is because' of the influence of sunspot activity on our precipitation. The following figures clearly show the course of this fluctuation and permit a fair- rover GROVEB Grover Ladies Aid met at the John Hoffman home Thursday morning.

"Average a a inflow to Northern Colorado Water Conservancy district area: 1900s: 1,046,000 acre feet; 19101919: 874,000 acre feel; 1920s: 1,030,500 acre feet; 1930s: 720,600 acre feel 1910s: 960,000 acre feet; 1950s: 713,500 acre feel; 1950s: teslimaud) 950,000 acre feel; 50- year average: 885,000 acre feel. Average for 1957-59 was 937,000 acre feet." Plumb said that since 1940 was a severe drought year, it was included with the 1930s. These figures wore completed from a supplied by the office of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy district, he said. The fluctuation results from the activity the sun are light night and day r.nd winter and summer," ho said. a i in 20-year Cyclt "Scientisls have recognized as a fact for many years that sunspot affected precipitation in this area and (hat sunspot activity fluctuates in 'a 20-year cycle," he said.

"There are also longer periods of a i Plumb said. "We are ncnr Hie end of a low in this major period. Storage Resource! for Last 3 Years "The following give a picture of our storage resources i the past three years in acre feel. The first figures is east slope conservation; Ihe second west slope a i the next total conservation and the last figures lolal used: "1957: 450,265 417,512 867,77 294,000. 1958: 263,311 217,421 480,32 488,000.

"1959: 303,000 221,133 524,33 498,000. "Compiled from information ob- ained at Norlhern Colorado Water Conservancy district office." "This does not allow for east slope shrinkage. Last year it was 2,000 acre feet. "Nor does it allow for increases be expected from a recently developed Colorado-Big Thompson re- urn flow, which started in the storage season of 1959 with 70,000 more acre feet measured at Kersey auge from Oct. 1 to April 1 than the average of 1950, 51 and 52.

1959 Inflow Normal "This 70,000 acre feet explains why 1959 with only 76 per cent of normal inflow stored, more east slope water than 1958, with 97 per cent of normal inflow. "The average of the three years 1957, 1958 and 1959, is less than we can expect to average during the next 10-year period.

WIGKLAND Motors Invites You To Test Drive the New VALIANT! 817 7th Street Our storage position as of last fall at the close of the irrigation season included 334,017 acre feet in non-project reservoirs, which have a total effective capacity of 600000 acre feel. The carryover in these reservoirs is 300 per cent of normal.

"In addition project reservoirs at the close of the irrigation season had a total 527,778 acre feet. Total effective capacity of these reservoirs is 747,777 acre feet. Plumb said 78,000 acre feet of unused project water allotted but not used has been crowded into the east slope storages in 1958 and 1959, with title passing to the stockholders of these storages. To Lose to Nebraiki "With a normal inflow," he said, "our cast slope storages, already half full, will lose to Nebraska much more than 78,000 acre feet. "Total conservation in our west slope storages in 1957 was 417,512 acre feet.

Total conservation in our east slope storages the same year was 450,265 acre feel. We had 485,000 acre feet east-west total available for new storage on Oct. 1 last year. "The 485,000 acre feet total is 1 slightly over half enough to take care of another year like 1957. i "Most certainly our experience prior to the last three years gives I little idea what this surplus may I be.

That is why this survey has been confined mostly to the last I three years. "Most certainly we cannot save i it until the next 10-year subnormal period with the storage we have Weber donated a cradle coverlet made of silk and velvet pieces in the log-cabin pattern. It was made in 1883 by Mrs. Irene Sullivan Weber. There has been a companion piece in the museum for many years, also donated by Mrs.
