<br />. <br /> <br />on future vater diversion to the South Platte river? What are the <br /> <br /> <br />limits of the ground water resources of the basin? Will recycling <br /> <br /> <br />ever become feasible within existing laws? Is there a likelihood <br /> <br /> <br />that the laws will be changed to accommodate recycling? Will the <br /> <br /> <br />per capita use rate in the Denver area increase from the present <br /> <br /> <br />value of about 200 gallons/day to 250 gallons/day or will it decrease? <br /> <br /> <br />Will the present policy for developing water systems which assumes <br /> <br /> <br />no conservation and no use restrictions prevail? <br /> <br />How much would recreation demand decrease if the current energy <br /> <br /> <br />and economic conditions prevail? Would demands for some activities <br /> <br /> <br />increase while demand for others decrease? <br /> <br />Most of these questions cannot be answered with certainty. <br /> <br /> <br />Therefore, water resources planning and the resultant solutions to <br /> <br /> <br />water resources problems must be flexible to accommodate changing <br /> <br /> <br />situations. <br /> <br />The future must be defined in terms of the variables affecting <br /> <br /> <br />vater resources planning. Table I lists the planning variables <br /> <br /> <br />most senstitive to fUture changes. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5 <br />
