<br />Colorado Basin Roundtable Technical Meeting #2 <br />Meeting Summary <br /> <br />meeting. A general summary of the public comment portion of the meeting is summarized <br />below. <br /> <br />. Be cautious of looking at issues at too high a level <br />- Consider effective rainfall in agricultural consumptive use rates (especially in South Platte <br />basin) <br />- Per capita demand -look at consumptive use not gross amount - difference can be used <br />for many other uses "downstream" <br />- Discuss demands before options in South Platte BRT 2 <br />- Converting water from agriculture to M&I does not eliminate the need for storage <br />. Support was expressed for the basin-level SWSI approach. Most smaller communities don't <br />have means to conduct studies - general public has low recognition of importance of water <br />supply planning/ conservation. Encourage River District and others to have dialogue with <br />communities and general public. There is a need for education on water supply as the general <br />public may not be thinking about water supply issues. <br />. Minimum stream flows are junior water rights; consider how much protection is really <br />provided by this. Environmental protection holds significant economic importance via <br />tourism. <br />. SWSI should focus on water needs more than specific projects. SWSI has the most potential <br />impact if it follows this approach. <br /> <br />CDIVI <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />Colorado BRT Mtg #2 Summary.doc 4/16/2004 <br />
