COOPERATION AND COMMUNICATION

Throughout the life of the project we were able to gather a great deal of valuable
information from other agencies and individuals involved in water conservation
related to irrigation. In the future we will be involved in a mutually beneficial
relationship 'with the City of Pueblo, who also use a Rainbird Maxicom system.
The City has several weather stations around the area, but the weather station
on our campus is in a good location for their 24th Street soccer complex and
several of the local parks, so they have been invited to access our weather
station as needed.

Information about the project will be shared, as opportunities arise, with other
public agencies. The intention will be to produce an annual report at the end of
each irrigation season to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. We also
participate with other system users through Turf Irrigation and Rainbird in order
to help improve the system operations and keep pace with new technology.

The project received recognition within the Department in an article published in
Insiaht the Departmental newsletter in November/December of 1993. A copy of
this article is included as Exhibit G.
