<br />BYLAWS FOR THE GUNNISON BASIN ROUNDTABLE <br /> <br />PREAMBLE <br /> <br />In Colorado, water is among the state's most important issues. The ability to <br />successfully address the challenges and opportunities related to water requires a basin-driven, <br />cooperative approach. To facilitate continued discussions within and between basins on water <br />management issues, and to encourage locally driven cooperative solutions to water supply <br />challenges, the Colorado Water for the 21st Century Act created nine permanent basin <br />roundtables. These roundtables include the following: <br /> <br />South Platte Basin <br />Arkansas Basin <br />Rio Grande Basin <br />Gunnison Basin <br />Colorado Basin <br />Yampa-White Area <br />Dolores, San Miguel, and San Juan Basins <br />Metro Area <br />North Platte Area. <br /> <br />ARTICLE I <br />NAME AND PURPOSE <br /> <br />Section 1.
