<br />5345 <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />Water Demands - a compi/ation of existing andfuture water demands, including <br />the timing of demands for Study Participants through the year 2050 as well as the <br />demands on water resources and water systemfa('ilities identified by the District. <br />Denver Water and the UPCO study. <br /> <br />( <br />\~. <br /> <br />The consultant will interview all Study Participants and review available <br />information to define their estimates of existing and future water demands for <br />their service areas, including timing for new demands through the year 2050. <br />Using the individual demand data, the consultant will develop a composite <br />demand curve for the Study Participants and compare that curve with the <br />population projections from the state demographer and DRCOG. If significant <br />discrepancies are identified, the consultant will work with the Study Board to <br />develop a consensus on how to address the discrepancies so a composite demand <br />projection is established that can form the basis for planning. The goal of this task <br />is to develop a composite water demand vs. time-curve that is accepted as credible <br />by the Management Team and the individual Study Participants. Ifsuch <br />acceptance can not be obtained, the Management Team can elect not to perform <br />subsequent study phases or establish a water demand vs. time curve that will be <br />used as the basis for subsequent study phases. In addition to the composite <br />demand projection, the consultant will report demand projections for individual <br />Study Participants through the year 2050. The consultant will interview <br />representatives of The District, Denver Water and the participants in the UPCO <br />study to identify other demands on water resources or water system facilities that <br />need to be considered. It is anticipated that these interviews and the UPCO study <br />will identify present and future water demands on the West Slope, in Denver <br />Water's service area, instream flow needs, reservoir fluctuation constraints, <br />system limitations (physical conduit or treatment sizes; modes of operation;) or <br />other factors that should be considered in the Study, <br /> <br />Water Supplies - a detailed description of Study Participants' exisling water <br />supplies, a calculation of the fUture water supply shortage and a feasibility <br />analysis of fUture water supplies from groundwater. South Platte River surface <br />waler, non-potable reuse and conservation as well as alternative South Platte <br />basin water such as may be identified by the Management Team. <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />The consultant will work with all Study Participants to define each member's <br />estimate of existing water supplies available to that member, including <br />conservation, non-potable reuse, surface water, and groundwater as of the year <br />2000. This estimate will include absolute water rights as well as conditional <br />water rights that could be developed during the planning period. The purpose of <br />this analysis is to establish a water supply baseline for each Study Participants for <br />use in calculating future supply shortages, The consultant will describe the water <br />supply as the acre-feet of "Firm Yield" deliverable each year over a representative <br />set of hydrology years for surface water and renewable resources.
