Excerpt from Variability of Unutilized Surface Water Supplies From the Yampa and White River Basins

Water rights on the Yampa River compiled by the State Engineer's Office show total water rights filed through 1970 of c.f.s. Only during May and June is the flow of the river in mean years adequate to meet demands equal to all of these water rights. Because of high return flows, more water rights can be served than average flows would indi cate. Nonetheless, most irrigation water rights are unable to draw water after July, severely restricting the types of crops that can be grown under irrigation. Although a very high proportion of present water use on the Yampa is for irrigation, some water is for municipal use and for operation of coal-fired electric power plants.
