The st. Vrain-Boulder Creek Steering Committee <br />served as the spokesman for the local interests. <br /> <br />The work consisted of examining the broad aspects of present <br />water and land resources development in the St. Vrain Creek basin, <br />examining the water supply of the basin, estimating possible fUture <br />water requirements (particularly shifts in use to meet municipal and <br />industrial requirements), and preparation of preliminary cost estimates <br />of various alternative physical potentialities that might be developed. <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />Investigations in the St. Vrain Unit described in this report <br />were started in December 1965. <br /> <br />The investigations initially consisted of water supply and water <br />utilization studies and evaluation of rural and urban population. <br />Cities and towns in the basin were contacted regarding their present <br />water use, anticipated water requirements, and possible plans for <br />meeting fUtuxe water needs. Information obtained during previous <br />investigations was reanalyzed and updated.
