SUBJECT:

Gunnison River Basin Planning and Accounting Models Compatibility
With Colorado River Decision Support System

In your memorandum to me dated October 7, 1992 you expressed concern
about the possible lack of compatibility between the Gunnison Planning Model and
the Colorado River Decision Support System (CRDSS) and asked that the Gunnison
River Basin Water Management and Planning Project Sponsor's Committee (Sponsor's
Committee) address this issue from their perspective, I shared a copy of your
memorandum with the Sponsor's Committee at our October 8, 1992 meeting.

The Sponsor's Committee, which includes representatives from the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation, Colorado State Engineers Office, Colorado Water Conservation
Board, Colorado River Water Conservation District, Upper Gunnison River Water
Conservancy District, Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association and the Tri-
County Water Conservancy District, has asked that in response I first emphasize the
excellent communi~ations which have developed among the Sponsoring "Agencies .
,,~,i' through these modelling efforts and the open and honest discussion of complex water
'.',:~ . right administration issues. Eyen if the Gunnison models were to prove not to' be
,r., compatible withCRDSS for some reason, the overall, Gunrnson mlXlellipg efforts
>:"" ..hould be considered successful in that many water right administration iSsues have
0; 0", been resolved and data developed ,which W()Lild:'be'required for any useful river basin
;olnodel of the Gunnison. "It is the Sp<;>nso[- <;ommittee\ considered opinion that the,
'!JWdelling efforts should therefore continue as currently planned for this reason alone.

In efforts to promote modelcompatibilit)- the Sponsq'r'sCommittee has ask~do. .
Mr.,Brendedre and Hyl!rospherel(j~r'I1eet with CADSWES to diScuss compatibility' , o'
