<br />Metro funded it.. .of course. Ag should not turn their back so that we have a <br />place at the table. I would recommend that we fund it with an agricultural seat <br />at the table; someone with skepticism. <br /> <br />Jerke: For this reason, asked for a list of the advisory committee. <br /> <br />Rennels: Ifthis group is concerned, need someone from here. <br /> <br />Jaeger: Point of coming here is to keep process going; have committed <br />$ 1 million; will go forward; but looking for as much expertise as possible; <br />know that we are dealing with consumptive use; point is that we need to put <br />all issues on the table; study meant specifically: how do we deal with ag <br />community instead of mnning over the community; <br /> <br />Fred Walker: One of concerns, how to limit some water use: best <br />management studies could be incorporated into a law that would dictate how <br />to use that resource; we know how to use our resources to put them to <br />maximum beneficial use; and am concerned about how that management <br />might be used in the future; we would not have these issues if price of food <br />were high enough where growing food is as valuable as development. <br /> <br />Jim Yahn: A study like this may be used as a best management study, but will <br />be done anyway; they are going to do it. <br /> <br />Walker: They are looking for credibility and I do not want to support this. <br /> <br />DINNER BREAK --- will bring up the application again after dinner <br />presentation; what question will be put forth. <br /> <br />Dinner Presentation: What we know about water budgets for the fracture <br />rock foothills-Eillen Poeter, Colorado School of Mines <br /> <br />Handout from Ralf Topper: Consumptive / non-consumptive water use by <br />residences using individual sewage disposal systems. <br /> <br />--1974 study to investigate the consumptive use of water by homes using leach <br />fields for sewage disposal. Developers relying on leach fields for effluent <br />disposal were submitting the figure of 10% consumptive use within the system. <br />Found that on an annual basis the total consumptive use (in-house+leach field) <br />was estimated at 12.3%. <br />--Multiple studies since that time; all these studies focus on water quality issue, <br />not consumptive; only work that has focused on consumptive use is study by Dr. <br />Eillen Poeter and her colleagues at school of Mines. <br /> <br />Assessing Water Resources in Foot Hills Aquifers: Eileen Poeter and Roy <br />Lewes <br /> <br />9 <br />
