APPENDIX A This appendix contains the graphs used to analyze the data and develop the equations for river routing, channel losses, and other losses in the system. The graphs found in this appendix are referenced in the text of the main document, and the organization of this appendix follows the organization of the main document. The graphs in this appendix are organized in the following manner.

RIO CHAMA Graphs 1-38 show the relations used to develop travel time lags and channel losses for reaches of the Rio Chama from below El Vado Dam to the Rio Chama confluence with the Rio Grande in the Española Valley.

UPPER RIVER Graphs 39-95 show the relations used to develop travel time lags in the seven reaches of the Rio Grande from near Lobatos, Colorado to below Cochiti Dam. Because of the lack of reliable data available to develop these relations in all reaches, loss relations developed for certain reaches were applied to other reaches.

MIDDLE VALLEY Graphs 96-113 show the relations used to develop travel time lags, river-channel water surface evaporation, and river-channel leakage for the reaches of the Rio Grande from below Cochiti Dam to the Rio Grande Floodway at San Acacia. Graphs 114 to 127 are those used to develop travel time lags and losses for the Jemez River. Graphs 128-143 are those used in developing travel time lags and the simplified loss determination procedures for the reaches of the Rio Grande from the Rio Grande Floodway at San Acacia to below Elephant Butte Reservoir.

LOWER VALLEY Graphs 144-180 show the relations used to develop travel time lags and channel losses for the three reaches of the Rio Grande from below Caballo Dam to El Paso, Texas.
