[cdt-l] Water in the Great Divide Basin

[Heidrun Kessler]

Short SOBO update as at July 17:

Sweetwater: good flow
Long slough: dry
Harris Slough: ditch water; algae present
Upper Mormon: good at source
Weasel: didn't check
Coyote Gultch Spring (in ravine): low clear spring pool; others nasty
Coyote Gultch #2: don't count on it
Coyote Gultch #1: good pools with some flow
Haypress: Reservoirs are liquid cow crap; creek pools becoming contaminated; 
look for tiny gravel based pool near rocks and bushes
Crooks Mtn.: contaminated
West Arapahoe: contaminated
Benton Springs: low but steady flow, good
Barrel at 2.3 Section 2 (Green Mtn):turn it on- it flows clear
A & M Reservoir: good; even has 14" trout!
Bull Springs: Both good

Temperatures very hot, much above normal, so conditions may change rapidly.
