<br /> <br />COLORADO <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />[)EPARTMENT OF <br />NATURAL <br />RESOURCES <br /> <br />b. Identification of critical/prioritized stream <br />reaches and associated value. <br /> <br />c. Identification of methods for the <br />quantification of needs. <br /> <br />d. Identification of potential projects or <br />methods for meeting the identified non- <br />consumptive needs. <br /> <br />e. Preliminary cost estimates for <br />implementation of the work plan. <br /> <br />In addition to working on their non-consumptive <br />needs, the Yampa/White Roundtable will work with <br />the Colorado Roundtable on water supply needs for <br />energy development. The Colorado and Yampa/ <br />White Roundtables approved a WSRA application by <br />the River District to study consumptive water needs <br />associated with energy development in the <br />Colorado, White, and Yampa River Basins. To jump <br />start that study, the State's technical assistance <br />team will assist subcommittees from the two <br />roundtables in gathering existing information and <br />data and identifying data gaps. <br /> <br />Water Supply Reserve Account - <br /> <br />Grant and Loan Program Water <br /> <br />Activity Summary <br /> <br />On March 13, the CWCB Board approved over <br />$4 million in grants.
