<br />CDIVI <br /> <br />Update on Statewide Water Supply Initiative <br />- San Juan/Dolores/San Miguel Basin <br /> <br />shown in Table 5. The identified shortfalls will be the focus for supply alternatives <br />developed for the basin. <br /> <br />Table 5 San Juan/Dolores/San Miguel Basin Preliminary M&I and SSI Demand Analysis <br /> <br /> Identified <br /> 2000 2030 Projected Increase Gross Estimated <br /> Gross Gross Conservation in Gross Demand CU Demand <br /> Demand Demand Savings Demand Shortfall Shortfall <br />County (AF) (AF) (A F) (AF) (AF) (AF) <br /> <br />Archuleta 2,400 6,100 300 3,700 400 100 <br />Dolores 400 600 <100 200 <br />La Plata 10,000 16,900 1,100 6,900 800 300 <br />Montezuma 5,800 9,100 600 3,300 300 100 <br />Montrose 2,600 5,400 <100 2,800 2,300 800 <br />San Juan 100 100 <100 <br />San Miguel 2,300 4,200 200 1,900 1,200 400 <br />TOTAL 23,600 42,400 2,400 18,800 5,000 1,700 <br />Columns and rows may not add up exactly due to rounding <br /> <br />Table 6 provides a list of the major identified projects and planning efforts that are <br />underway or are planned in the San Juan/Dolores/San Miguel Basin. It will be very <br />important that these projects and plans move forward or significant additional water <br />supplies will be required. <br /> <br />Table 6 Major Identified Projects and Processes to Provide Additional Supply <br /> <br />County I Identified Projects and Processes <br />Archuleta .

Existing supplies and water rights <br /> <br />The plans for many water providers include the use of the M&I allocations in the <br />Dolores and Animas La Plata Projects. These projects will provide much of the water <br />necessary to meet M&I demands, but the water treatment and transmission <br />infrastructure needed to deliver the water is lacking. The San Miguel Basin (Montrose <br />and San Miguel counties) are projected to have shortfalls related to growth in M&I <br />and SSI demands and in the reliability of existing agricultural supplies. In addition, <br />there is projected to be portions of every county where it will not be practical to <br />develop reliable water supplies. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />SWSI Update - SJDSM Basin <br />
