<br />.. <br /> <br />003182 <br /> <br />TASK 3--'\VATER DEMANDS <br /> <br />This task will involve the collection of data and information related to previous projec- <br />tions of water demand for withdrawals and consumptive uses in the study area. The <br />instream flow recommendations identified for sediment transport and aquatic resource <br />recovery and maintenance as well as the compact considerations will be identified. The <br />objective. of this task is to identify those consumptive water demands (location, timing, <br />quantity) that will be exerted on the basin's water resources in the year 2010 and under <br />ultimate basin conditions. Comparison of residual flows with the instream flow needs <br />will be made but those instream flows will not be considered as demands in the hydro- <br />logic model (Task 4). <br /> <br />The specific elements of this task consist of the following: <br /> <br />· Task 3.A--Municipal, Industrial, Irrigation Demands <br />· Task 3.B-Environmental Demands <br />· Task 3.C--Sediment Transport Demands <br />· Task 3.D--Compact Considerations <br />· Task 3.E--Total Water Demand Projections <br /> <br />TASK 3.A--MUNICIPAL, INDUSTRIAL, <br /> <br />IRRIGATION DEMANDS <br /> <br />Purpose <br /> <br />The purpose of this task is to identify the projected quantities, timing and location of <br />water withdrawals, consumptive uses and return flows for municipal, industrial and <br />irrigation purposes in the study area. <br /> <br />Responsibility <br /> <br />CH2M HILL will be responsible for this task. <br /> <br />Approach <br /> <br />The project team will undenake the following activities: <br /> <br />1. Assess historic economic and demographic trends using data from the U.S. <br />Bureau of Census, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Colorado Division of <br />Local Government, Colorado Depanment of Economic Security, Nonhwest <br />Council of Governments, U.S. Depanment of Agriculture and local and state <br />government offices. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />DENI800PI033.51 <br />
