<br />Section 11 <br />Acknowledgements <br /> <br />SWSI is the product of the vision, commitment, and <br />dedication of countless Coloradans toward meeting the <br />state's future water needs. Governor Owens and the <br />Colorado Legislature provided strong direction and <br />support for moving the project forward. The DNR and its <br />Director, Russell George, gave continuous support to <br />SWSI. CWCB Board members are to be commended for <br />providing the foresight needed to undertake SWSI, <br />committing significant time in shaping and guiding the <br />process, and giving unwavering support for the Initiative. <br />The Director of CWCB, Rod Kuharich, likewise <br />committed his time and support for the project and <br />dedicated staff resources toward ensuring SWSI's <br />success. CWCB's Project Manager, Rick Brown, was <br />consistently the "voice of SWSI," devoting much of his <br />energy to meeting the significant demands of the project, <br />and working hard to truly understand the issues and <br />interests of Basin Roundtable members and the general <br />public. <br /> <br />The SWSI consultant team led by COM was staffed as <br />follows: Project Director - Susan Morea; Technical <br />Director - Kelly DiNatale; Engineering Analysis - John <br />Rehring; Project Management - Nicole Rowan; Project <br />Facilitation - Paul Brown; Decision Science - Dan <br />Rodrigo; Water Supply Analysis - Gordon McCurry; <br />Demographics/Demands - Bill Davis; Public Relations - <br />Steve Coffin, GBSM; Data Analysis - Steven Maiers, <br />Riverside Technology inc. and Erin Wilson, Leonard Rice <br />Consulting Water Engineers; Environmental Analysis- <br />Tom Pitts, Water Consult. <br /> <br />We are also grateful to the following CWCB staff who <br />helped produce this final report: Randy Seaholm, Dan <br />McAuliffe, Ray Alvarado, Dan Merriman, Steve Miller, <br />Andy Moore, Michelle Garrison, Mike Serlet, and Carolyn <br />Fritz. <br /> <br />SWSI Basin Roundtable members provided untold hours <br />of work on SWSI and served as a wealth of historical <br />knowledge, guiding principles and ideas for meeting the <br />state's diverse and growing uses for water.
