The 2000 and 2030 gross demands are presented in the <br />table, along with conservation savings. Of the 14,900 AF of increased water demands <br />in the Gunnison Basin, the majority of the demand is proposed to be met through <br />existing supplies and water rights and through the implementation of identified <br />projects and processes. However, there are still some anticipated shortfalls expected <br />in certain portions of the basin. This is also shown in Table 5. The identified shortfalls <br />will be the focus for supply alternatives developed for the basin. <br /> <br />SWSI Update - Gunnison Basin <br /> <br />5 <br />
