Water and Storage Needs Assessment Enterprise - Update <br /> <br />In 1997 the Board of the \tVater and Storage Needs Assessment Enterprise, in cooperation with the local <br />Storage Study Committee, hired the engineering learn of GEl Consultants, Inc. and Helton & Williamsen to <br />conduct the Water and Storage Needs Assessment Study. The scope of that study \vas defined by the <br />District, 27 other water-user entities within the District, and the Colorado Water Conservation Board. The <br />goal oj the Study is to determine the future demand for water supplies and storage among the municipal and <br />agricultural entities within the District through the year 2040. The Study will then list and analyze a set of <br />alternatives which may be used to meet those storage and supply demands. <br /> <br />Preliminary numbers from the Study indicate that population within the District's nine-county service area <br />may grow to as high as 1.5 million. Current population within the District totals 620,000. The chart below <br />graphically shows the potential growth in population from 1997 to 20..1-0. <br /> <br />Base and High Population Projections <br />Southeastern Colorado \Vater Conservancy District <br /> <br />(PopulatJon In 000) <br /> <br /> 1,600 <br /> 1,400 <br /> 1,200 <br />;;; <br />g 1,000 <br />t <br />< 800 <br />. <br />, <br />, <br />~ '00 <br />0 <br />" <br /> .00 <br /> 200 <br /> 0 <br /> <br /> <br />1,506.", <br /> <br />s.o..r.:..
