Foundation and citizen outreach <br />group s; also better website than SWSI had <br />? <br /> <br />Build as a branch of SWSI – State wide round table <br />? <br /> <br />Learn from what SWSI didn’t do in terms of public outreach <br />? <br /> <br />Gunnison and CO can address Compact issues as opposed to giving up water <br />through transbasin diversions <br /> <br />Could be modeled after watershed planning process <br /> <br />3 <br />
