Section 9 <br />Evaluation Framework <br />The following observations can be made for the South <br />Platte Basin: <br />For the group as a whole, the highest weighted <br />objectives are Meet Municipal & Industrial Demands, <br />Optimize Existing Water Supplies, and Meet <br />Agricultural Demands, which vary between 15 and <br />19 percent. The lowest weighted objectives are <br />Enhance Recreational Opportunities at 6 percent and <br />Protect Cultural Values at 7 percent. <br />The agricultural interest average weights (when <br />compared against the overall group averages) are <br />highest for objectives such as Meet Agricultural <br />Demands, Optimize Existing & Future Supplies, and <br />Promote Cost Effectiveness; while they are lowest for <br />Provide for Environmental Enhancement; and about <br />average for Meet Municipal & Industrial Demands, <br />Enhance Recreational Opportunities, Protect Cultural <br />Values, and Provide for Operational Flexibility. <br />The municipal interest group average weights (when <br />compared against the overall group averages) are <br />highest for objectives such as Meet Municipal & <br />Industrial Demands and Provide for Operational <br />Flexibility; while they are lowest for Meet Agricultural <br />Demands and Provide for Cultural Values; and they <br />are about average for Optimize Existing & Future <br />Supplies, Enhance Recreational Opportunities, and <br />Promote Cost Effectiveness. <br />4. Environmental and recreational interest average <br />weights (when compared against the overall group <br />averages) are highest for objectives such as Enhance <br />Recreational Opportunities and Provide for <br />Environmental Enhancement; while they are lowest <br />for Meet Agricultural Demands, Promote Cost <br />Effectiveness, and Provide for Operational Flexibility; <br />and about average for Meet Municipal & Industrial <br />Demands, Optimize Existing & Future Supplies, and <br />Protect Cultural Values. <br />~~ <br />YampalWhitelGreen Basin <br />The results for the Yampa/White/Green Basin are shown <br />in Figure 9-12. <br />3% <br />5% <br />~r <br />.. .~ N'S ~ <br />~a° N- <br />~_° <br />~~a N~ O N ~ 0 y~j O~ T <br />~°_ °'`~ ~_ >> ~,oa <br />- E <br />- <br />T'- E <br />m~ <br />- ~ o T ~ E <br />mQ <br />-.c o <br />~ <br />w~'in ~ <br />~ <br />Q a?L o~ ~ ao'd <br />w` ~ o b o~ o' v~ b d- <br />~ <br />m <br />- <br />m ~E`i <br />:_ ~O Ww` a`w o <br />` <br />~ ~ ,s <br />O a <br />Q Agricultural/Ranching Interest ~ Environmental/Recreational Interest <br />Average Weight Average Weight <br />• Municipal Water Interest ~ All Interests Average Weight <br />Average Weight <br />~ Range of Weights for All Interests <br />Figure 3-92 <br />Yampa/White/Green Basin Objective Weights <br />The following observations can be made for the Yampa/ <br />White/Green Basin: <br />For the group as a whole, the highest weighted <br />objectives are Meet Municipal & Industrial Demands, <br />Meet Agricultural Demands, and Optimize Existing <br />Water Supplies, which vary between 15 and <br />16 percent.
