implement "state-of-the-art" techniques that are feasible and practical. Explore and
promote the use of flood storage facilities, and non-structural flood mitigation to meet
multiple objectives.

Partnership with Federal. State. and Local Entities - Participate in partnering with
federal, state, and local entities for the management, marketing, and administration of
flood and flood related programs. Identify and make recommendations regarding
"Homeland Security" needs that correspond to other hazard reduction duties and existing
relationships with the Federal Emergency Management Administration and the state
Office of Emergency Management.

Multi-objective Plannine. Project Development and Stream Restoration -
Participate with partners to plan and undertake multi-objective projects designed to
reduce flood hazards, stabilize and restore stream channels, provide habitat, reduce
erosion, and increase the capacity to utilize water. Administer the Watershed Protection
Fund and the projects approved by the Board and the Colorado Water Quality Control
Division. Explore and promote opportunities to maximize storage and minimize cost
while ensuring protection of public safety. Improve inter and intra agency coordination,
communication, and prioritization efforts regarding resource management decisions,
including river restoration. Use river restoration techniques and projects to identify areas
of the state that would benefit when combined with water development projects. Explore
and promote additional uses of flood plain map data as modernization occurs.

Statewide Outreach and Education - Each Section shall perform outreach and
education including participating in public awareness and program advocacy activities to
increase public and organizational understanding of CWCB and develop opportunities for
each Section to achieve their goals.

Water Information - Make information accessible to CWCB's customers and the public
including maintaining and updating the floodplain Information Support System and
CWCB flood web site, as well as general information related to the Section, through
publications, the Internet, databases, and the imaging of documents. Improve flood threat
"forecasting" and outreach to improve reservoir operations/planning.

Weather Modification - Permit and monitor weather modification operations to increase
the amount of water available from winter and summer weather systems and to suppress
hail. Examine and promote opportunities to increase water supply availability through
the weather modification program. Use data from the Statewide Water Supply Initiative
to identify areas of the state that would most benefit from the program base on growth
rate and water supply availability. Promote the use of sound science to document and
quantify the benefits and effects of weather modification.
