Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska with the consent of the United
States Congress, negotiated this compact to divide the waters of
the Republican River and its tributaries.
The compact specified the computed average annual virgin water
supply in the various tributaries and mainstream of the
Republican River on which is based the allocation of water to the
three states.
Should the future computed virgin flow vary more
than 10 percent from the average, allocations will be adjusted
according to the relative proportion that annual computed flow
bears to the average computed flows.
The State of Colorado is allocated 54,100 acre-feet of water
annually based on the average computed virgin flow from the
following streams and in specified amounts:
North Fork of the Republican River 10,000 acre-feet
Arikaree River 15,400 acre-feet
South Fork of the Republican River 25,400 acre-feet
Beaver Creek 3,300 acre-feet
Frenchman Creek Entire flow in Colorado
Red Willow Creek Entire flow in Colorado
