Harold: The reuse piece will impact the main stem of the water and the ag use of the <br />water; will shift the call; primarily, the water will come from a continuation of buy and <br />dry, good to tallc about fallowing, but generally, we will see the South Metro District who <br />have announced that they will come up and buy 50000 ac ft of water; these kinds of <br />repercussions will have more affect. <br />Harold: Remaining dollars would be better spent in Upper Mtn counties or in the <br />Republican where there was not focus in SWSI I; thus in a priority standpoint, seems like <br />we should put focus on these studies. <br />Bruce Gerk: Bob Streeter, Fred Wallcer and Bill Jerke gave a presentation to IBCC; one <br />of the things that I noticed around the room was a great deal of curiosity about the reality <br />of our basin; the big question was "what is the gap"; thus, more effort spent in order to <br />quantify this could help support at a state level, from a funding aspect of more activities <br />to resolve the problems of the South Platte Basin. <br />Hecox: I don't disagree but the main point is "will additional analysis change this." <br />Those numbers are there; the important point is to commuiucate this information. <br />Fred Wallcer: I spoke with a few people from other basins; my impressions were that <br />generally speaking they were supportive of storage projects; if we on the South Platte can <br />demonstrate to them that our numbers show that we use our water as efficiently as <br />possible; we showed that we use 76% of the water before it leaves the state; they might <br />be more receptive to the idea of the importation of other waters if they could see... we <br />need to work on solutions on storage; <br />Dick Stencil: Our issues, if we break down the issues per district, and can show the gaps <br />per district and solutions, it becomes obvious that there are not opportunities everywhere. <br />If we knew what the gap is per district, it would be more convincing. <br />Harold: How can we analyze the competitive nature if we do not do the analysis? I <br />would be willing to conunit to a few conference calls here, but this refinement on our gap <br />is immaterial if we can't get the three projects off the ground. <br />Hecox: So we should focus on the reuse piece and then we will wrap up these and move <br />forward on the Upper Counties, Republican and the consumptive/non-consumptive <br />studies. <br />Janet: RE: Metro Roundtable, should this study be proposed to Metro roundtable because <br />some of our counties are downstream; thus should metro fiu7d part of this? <br />Hecox: Yes.
