<br /> <br />Section 2 <br />Reports From Basin Roundtables <br />II11 <br /> <br />rapid influx of retirees and growth in the <br />Uncompahgre Valley may dramatically change the <br />agricultural uses and land use in the area. <br /> <br />During SWSI Phase I and II, a gap analysis was <br />conducted for the Gunnison Basin, the results of which <br />are presented in Figure 2-3, below. The largest demand <br />in the basin is in Gunnison County where additional <br />storage and well augmentation will be needed to meet <br />future demands. <br /> <br />2-8 <br /> <br />Flow recommendations to benefit endangered fish have <br />been developed for the Gunnison River, however, it is <br />emphasized that flow recommendations are not <br />monolithic absolute values, and they may be revised <br />from time to time to include the results of research. Flow <br />recommendations may not inhibit the development of <br />Colorado's Compact entitlements. The objectives of the <br />flow recommendations are to create and maintain the <br />variety of habitats used by all life stages of the four <br />endangered fishes. <br /> <br />Numerous instream flow and natural lake rights have <br />been appropriated on tributaries to the Gunnison River. A <br />listing of these rights is available from the CWCB at <br />http://cwcb.state .co. us/Streamand lake/Database/. <br /> <br />300 <br />2,400 <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />I~. <br /> <br />Figure 2-3.
