The first task of the study was the characterization of study area demographics and the development of demand projections for municipal and industrial water use through the 30-year study period ending in the year 2020. The study area was defined to encompass those municipalities or areas which could conceivably utilize water supplies from the Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) and Windy Gap Projects or other water sources emanating from or available to Northern Colorado. The study area was divided into three distinct areas as illustrated in Figure 1-1: . Area 1 - The area enclosed by the boundaries of the NCWCD as of June 1989 Area 2 The area between the NCWCD boundaries and the southern Boulder, Morgan, and Weld County lines . Area 3 - The northern tier of the Denver Metropolitan Area (DMA) encompassing those municipalities unlikely to be totally served by the Denver Water Department and whose water needs could impact the future availability of water supplies in Northern Colorado . The overall study area was divided into these three separate areas to facilitate consideration of water supply issues specific to each area. As a result, data were collected and analyzed separately for each area. To provide input to the study regarding regional concerns, an Advisory Committee was formed. Representatives from potentially affected municipalities, other water suppliers, and other interested organizations were invited to participate. The primary role of the Advisory Committee was to review study progress and interim results; to provide data, plans, and other supplier-specific insights; and to offer guidance concerning 1-1
