Gaging Station Data and Reports - Grand Teton National Park, Gros Ventre River at Upstream NPS Boundary #433825110350101, 2006-2008
Gerber G. 2010. Gaging Station Data and Reports - Grand Teton National Park, Gros Ventre River at Upstream NPS Boundary #433825110350101, 2006-2008. Water Resources Division, Water Rights Branch
The NPS Water Rights Branch installed a stream gaging station on Gros Ventre River (hydrologic unit code 17040102) on the south-eastern boundary of Grand Teton National Park in August, 2006. The Station is located just east of the town of Kelly in Teton County, Wyoming. The Station was established to develop a water budget to evaluate water rights and use on the Gros Ventre River and to support efforts to minimize or eliminate de-watering downstream of the Highway 89/191 Bridge. Station data work-up was limited to July through November (during the irrigation season) and the Station was discontinued on November 30, 2008. In March 2008, the NPS contracted with the USGS to re-install the stream gage at Kelly, WY (13015400 Gros Ventre River at Kelly , WY) just 2.7 miles downstream of the NPS Station. The NPS boundary gage was originally installed to determine flows entering Grand Teton National Park and in 2008 it was determined that the USGS Kelly gage could be used as a surrogate for NPS boundary gage. Discharges at Kelly are typically higher than at the NPS station by 20 to 40 cubic feet per second (cfs) due to runoff and spring inflow downstream of the NPS Station.
