Colorado River Basin Natural Flow and Salt Data
This information has been updated; please see the Colorado River Current Natural Flow and Salt Data page for the most recent data.
NOTE: Several of these files are extremely large, and are best accessed by downloading before reading. To do so, "right click" on the link and select "Save Target As" to save the file to your hard drive. Presently the consumptive uses and losses data from 2006-2017 used to compute natural flow are PROVISIONAL and will be revised in the future. These revisions will change the natural flow computation. |
