This latest effort began in 1999 <br />with a conservation survey of local governments, <br />publication and distribution of a dam site inventory, <br />and series of ineetings in each major water basin. Tasks <br />yet to be completed include the publication of water <br />information fact sheets, a drought planning assessmentl <br />carry-over storage assessment, and these preliminary <br />growth and water demand projection fact sheets. These <br />materials and others are available at our website. <br />Greg Walcher <br />DNR Executive Director <br />Rod Kuharich <br />CWCB Director <br /> <br />YaripaN~fite I~~r Basin Pop~.~a~on by Ca (2) <br />RIO~1C0 G~RFIFID <br />S~ Native Supply = <br />Undepleted, <br />unregulated available <br />surface water.
