The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed channel maintenance instream flow claims at approximately 570 sites in the National Forests of Colorado Water Divisions 1 and 3 and is contemplating claims in Water Divisions 2 and 7. It is concluded from this study that the 570 streams on which the USFS has filed claims in Water Divisions 1 and 3 are generally steep mountain streams with relatively small drainage areas. Based on data and analysis from several sites with characteristics typical of the National Forest streams considered in this study where significant diversion has been conducted over a long period of time, no discernable differences in stream morphological characteristics could be detected between the up- and downstream channels that could be attributed to flow diversion.
