USGS Rio Grande Gage Specification Sheets
Notes 1) In the gage profiles, the accuracy attributed to the records collected has the
following classification: Good: Daily discharges within 10% of their true value Fair: Daily discharges within 15% of their true value. Poor: Daily discharges greater than 15% of true value. Different accuracies maybe attributed to different parts of a given record.
2) The orientation of the gage, left side or right side of canal or river, is determined by looking downstream.

Location: Return flow from Cochiti Division along east side, empties into Atrisco Feeder, not into Rio Grande. On the left bank of Rio Grande - ± 750 feet upstream from Angostura Diversion Structure and below confluence of Yeso & San Felipe Riverside Drain. Equipment: Stilling well and shelter on left bank Gage Type and Condition: Pressure transducer hard-wired to radio transmitter located at dam tender’s house Control: Natural earthen channel, head provided from being diverted from Angostura Diversion Structure and siphon ± 1,000 feet downstream Quality of Section: Poor Quality of Record: Poor Data Collection: Gage heights are collected every 30 minutes Data Transmission: Transmitted to office of MRGCD Potential Problems: Remarks: This gaging station is located just below the confluence of two drains returning flow diverted in the Cochiti Division. Downstream condition from the gage makes for a poor stage/discharge relationship. [Downstream conditions produce unreliable stage/discharge relationship data] Borland is not sure about how much water passes this station. “Would it be cost effective to install a flume to measure a small amount of water?”

Control: Langemann Weir Gate Quality of Section: Good Quality of Record: Good Data Collection: Gage height is collected every 30 minutes Data Transmission: Transmitted to MRGCD office Potential Problems: None – debris might get caught on or in gate Remarks: Replacement of radial gate at this site makes measurement of return flow to Rio Grande much easier. Discharge measurement will be made later to verify theoretical rating. *Note: Extreme scatter on measurements made during 2000 irrigation season (see rating curve following photographs on next pages). Need to obtain a better definition on rating at this station.
