Item/Title: Phase I Feasibility Study for Upper Gunnison-Uncompahgre Basin <br />Final Report and Task Memorandums <br /> <br />Prepared by: HDR Engineering, Inc. for the Colorado Water Resources and <br />Power Development Authority, Denver, CO. <br /> <br />Date: May 1989 <br /> <br />Abstract: This study covered the Upper Gunnison sub-basin (IJPstream of <br />Crystal Dam) and the Uncompahgre sub-basin. The study identified ann <br />evaluated water resource management plans to enhance the water-based <br />economy of the study area in an environmentally sound manner. Structural <br />measures, including dams, pipelines, and tunnels, were examined to <br />develop additional water supplies consistent with the in-basin needs and <br />Colorado's compact entitlements. Non-structural measures, including <br />enhanced water management through water exchange, reuse, and <br />conservation, were examined to obtain greater environmental and economic <br />benefits from the existing resource base. <br /> <br />36 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />
