<br />CDIVI <br /> <br />Update on Statewide Water Supply Initiative <br />- North Platte Basin <br /> <br />impact of these changes on rural Colorado economies, and the effect on the open <br />space provided by farms and ranches, is a key challenge for all Coloradans. In other <br />areas of the state, localized decreases and increases in agricultural water use are also <br />expected. A net increase in agricultural water use may occur in the Yampa/White/ <br />Green and the San Juan/Dolores/San Miguel Basins. <br /> <br />80A> 10A> <br /> <br />20A> <br /> <br /> <br />o Agricultural <br />.M&I <br />oSSI <br /> <br /> <br />o Agricultural <br />.M&I <br /> <br />oSSI <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />910A> <br /> <br /> <br />2000 <br /> <br />2030 <br /> <br />Figure 2 <br />2000 and 2030 Statewide Agricultural, M&I, and SSI Demands <br /> <br />North Platte Background <br /> <br />The North Platte Basin will experience the smallest increase in M&I and SSI water <br />demand by 2030, or 100 AF. In SWSI, M&I is defined as all of the water use of a <br />typical municipal system, including residential, commercial, industrial, irrigation, and <br />firefighting. Large industrial water uses that have their own water supplies or lease <br />raw water from others are described as SSI water users. For the purposes of SWSI, the <br />regional water needs in the North Platte Basin were evaluated only considering <br />Jackson County. Larimer County was placed in the South Platte Basin for water <br />demands. Figure 3 shows the increase in population from 2000 to 2030 for Jackson <br />County. Table 4 shows the total population and percent increase for Jackson County. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />SWSI Update - North Platte Basin <br />
