• Gaging stations monitored by GCMRC
• (Dave Topping) If you need the percentage of what GCDAMP pays for at all of the stations listed in the "Grand Canyon" box, I can work with the USGS Arizona Water Science Center next week to figure that out.
  • The funding structure is complicated.
  • Some of the stations in that box actually receive 0% funding from GCDAMP but we still use the data for GCDAMP purposes.
  • Many of the stations receive 50% funding from GCDAMP and a few receive 100% funding from GCDAMP, for example, the Little Colorado River above mouth gaging station.

• You can best get this information from our website. GCMRC Sediment LINK
• The monitoring stations listed under the "Grand Canyon" box are partially funded by GCDAMP.
• Most of the stations listed for "Grand Canyon" receive substantial support from other sources.
• The monitoring stations listed under the Dinosaur, Canyonlands, and Big Bend boxes are 100% funded by other sources. (David Topping)

• Question: Does GCMRC monitor gaging stations other than those within the realm of the GCDAMP? A: The simple answer is that we do not use GCDAMP funds to monitoring any gaging stations outside of the GCDAMP. We have external support from other sources, mostly NPS and some appropriated USGS funds, to cover the time spent on other projects. (David Topping)
