at the Cisco, Utah gaging station peaked on 19 May 2023 at about 41,000 cfs (cubic feet per second) despite the near record snowpack in the high country of Colorado this water year. It is interesting to note that last year’s peak flow of about 16,000 cfs occurred at about the same time (see hydrograph below) which strongly indicates that upstream diversions are robbing water from the main stem.
