*users will be key beneficiaries <br />Data loggers: gives real time info on the stage and discharge in the river; keeps track of <br />this info so that users can keep track of this information of how much water is being <br />diverted at a certain point. The data loggers allow near real time accounting t occur for <br />augmentation of wells and diversions. This is critical in the case of augmentation as real <br />time information is necessary to determine recharge and direct flow credits to assure <br />there is not an injury to seiuor water rights. <br />Telemetry: cell phone modems that will connect to Northern and Lower and pass that <br />info from data logger to the modem <br />Questions: <br />Plulo Shelton: Less water leaving the state line with the use of these <br />Jim Hall: Maxinuzing the use of our water per our compact with NE; but more <br />importantly, helping the right people get their water. <br />Harold Evans: One of recommendations that South Platte Task Force: continue to fiord <br />statewide computer decision making; this will provide info that will be used in that data <br />system; one benefit here that is not obvious: aug cases, change of use cases... better and <br />quicker results. <br />Webster Jones: Tool that your current administrators to do their job better?

Too many <br />variables with return flows, etc. <br />Jolu7 Stencil: "main stem and northern tributaries" ...not needed for southern tribs... and is <br />this something that is also needed for the Republican? <br />Jim Hall: We are taking one step at a time; yes, I can see us moving upstream, although <br />in the metro area, they have their own. As far as Republican, very few surface users; I <br />don't see this of much use in the Republican. <br />Used for Transit loss? <br />This would provide more real-time data for transit loss on any particular day. <br />Hecox. Suggestions: k7 your application, point out the comlection to the DSS; point out <br />the matching funds both in-kind and money. <br />Mike Shimmin: Motion to approve this and recommend that the CWCB approve this <br />Jolu1 Stencil/Walt Knudsen: Second <br />Vote: Unanimous <br />IL Report from the joint Yampa/White and South Platte Leaders meeting and <br />discuss next steps: group of five: Bill, Eric, Jim, Mike and Fred Wallcer <br />Fred made the South Platte presentation that was made to the IBCC; how we <br />use water in the South Platte: <br />Rocky Mtn News called it "historical" <br />6 <br />
