<br />Rio Grande Basin Roundtable Technical Meeting #4 <br />Meeting Summary <br /> <br />Final Gap Analysis <br /> <br />Kelly DiNatale presented the final gap analysis numbers for the Rio Grande Basin and how the <br />gaps were determined using the demand revisions. Kelly also reviewed the statewide demand <br />figures, including an estimate of the remaining gross demand shortfall, or gap. The general <br />locations of the remaining gap for each basin were also presented, as well as the additional <br />uncertainty with the planned projects and processes going forward. Where applicable for each <br />basin, provider level data were obtained and these were discussed along with general supply <br />options. The estimated gross demand shortfall was reviewed on a county level for the Rio <br />Grande Basin, along with more specific information on the areas of gap occurrence and <br />additional applicable details. Demand projection information developed under SWSI will be <br />posted to the SWSI web site (www.cwcb.state.co.us). <br /> <br />Agricultural demands, potential changes in irrigated acres for each of the eight basins and the <br />Rio Grande Basin specifically, and locations of agricultural shortages were also presented by <br />Kell y . <br /> <br />Feedback from the BRT members on the gap analysis material follows in a question and answer <br />format. <br /> <br />. Environmental community has helped local roundtable members understand SWSI process <br />via distribution list. <br />Need to quantify instream flow requirements <br />. M&I per capita - why high? <br />Student population, High Park acreage, potato water processing in some areas. <br />. The per capita value 210 gpd would equal 1 AF for a family of four; that seems high. Why? <br />It includes industrial use. <br />. Legislation on subdistricting; will it be included? <br />Answer: Yes. <br />. City of Alamosa acquired price Water District (slide 12); East Alamosa is still independent. <br />. What values were used for agricultural diversions averages? And the irrigated averages may <br />be less due to water short years. <br />. Are the Arkansas diversions for 1999-2001? <br />We will evaluate. <br />. In the South Platte is the "'900 wells that are shut down included in the irrigated acreage loss <br />of 205,000 acres because that is 60K-100K acres alone <br />Yes, this is included. <br />. The irrigated acreage reduction estimate seems low; do your agricultural numbers for 2030 <br />reflect the reduction? <br />Answer: Yes. <br />. What was the methodology to estimate the CD transfer and the acreage loss? At a regional <br />level? <br />No, but we could do it with some of the models we have developed. <br />. Town of Creede water rights now produce 500 AF based on recent developed contributions. <br />.
