<br />Chuck Ogiby: Is it fair that the Colorado River takes another 250,000 acre-foot hit to <br />benefit the Front Range? <br /> <br />Is it fair and is it just? This RT has no regulatory authority, only moral authority. <br /> <br />Chuck Ogilby: Moral authority when connected to political authority has power. <br /> <br />Lurline Underbrink Curran: They aren't mutually exclusive-one complements the other. <br />Need to connect the two such as agricultural flows can provide recreational flows. <br /> <br />Eric Hecox: Any solution will have multiple players and interests. We must have a good <br />foundation of information. Where can we find collaborative projects. This will help us <br />gain grant money. <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />Consumptive Use <br /> <br />1. Acquire SWSI Colorado River Basin Report and UPCO Report. Define <br />differences in them, and look for gaps or differences. <br /> <br />2. Make SWSI data more specific regarding areas along the river. <br /> <br />3. Reach out to actual consumptive users for data and compare to SWSI. <br /> <br />4. Timeline for how long to predict consumption uses. <br /> <br />5. Who is going to collect the data? Is this a volunteer effort, or can we get money to <br />hire someone to do this comparison? <br /> <br />6. Water quality must be maintained. <br /> <br />SWSI <br /> <br />UPCO <br /> <br />Other <br /> <br />River Segment <br /> <br />Non-Consumptive Use (Lane Wyatt) <br /> <br />1. How complex is it? <br /> <br />2. Tools: Aspen's hydroelectric facilities and how they work. <br /> <br />3. Colorado Water Trust - how it can be used to acquire in-stream flows. <br /> <br />4. How to build on SWSI Recreational and Environmental RT and not duplicate their <br />work. <br /> <br />5. There is no good database that quantifies flows. <br /> <br />L\CWCB Imaging\Caleb\Minutes\Colorado\2006\Minutes April 24 06 IECC Colo Basin.doc <br /> <br />6 <br />
