<br />Colorado River Water Conservation Distrrct Statewide Water Supply Initiative fnterests Statement <br />Page 13 of 11 <br /> <br />to the failure of SWSI fike so many other project based water supply planning and <br />development efforts. <br />Also to obtain the best possible planning end product, we believe that in addition to the <br />"gap analysis" for physical water supply and demand some time and effort be put forth <br />identifying and discussing the "knowledge gaps" that exist with respect to the study. For <br />example, the assumptions used in, and Ijmitations ot the SWSI need to be clearly defined <br />and the significance of these limitations discussed. Where the study team is unable to <br />address the know~edge gaps, a "to do Hst" should be created so that SWSI can be <br />improved in the future. For example, use the best most up-te-date data for supply and <br />demand analysis including the driest year on record, water year 2002, if not possibJe nor <br />practical, discuss the implications and put it on the "to do list". It is also imperative that <br />consistent analysis techniques be used in all basins wherever possible to avoid <br />inconsistencies and/or discrepancies between basins.. If impractical be sure to fuHy notate <br />and add to "to do Ust". <br /> <br />River District Interests vis a vis SWSI: <br /> <br />1. See that SWSI adheres to the agreed upon process for developing the plan. <br />2. Ensure that SWSI uses the best available data and tools for supply and demand <br />analysis where possible and practical. For example, if possible include the driest year <br />on record, water year 2002 into the database. <br />3. Ensure that SWSI is uses the most consistent analytical techniques wherever possible <br />to avoid inconsistencies and/or discrepancies between basins ~ <br />4. Recognize limitations of study and document fully and explicitly, as necessary. <br />
