(Dual water systems deliver raw water for outside irrigation, <br />reducing the demand on drinking water systems during the summer.) The study would <br />concentrate on northeast Colorado, particularly water districts 1 through 6, but study findings <br />would be generally transferable statewide. Phase 2 of the study would provide feasibility level <br />evaluation of two agricultural water providers (The New Cache La Poudre Irrigating Company <br />and the Highland Ditch Company) and their potential for dual water system development. This <br />part of the study has significant potential to result in a future loan from the Construction <br />Fund/Severance Tax Perpetual Base Account. The study would be coordinated through CSU, but <br />has a number of supporters who will contribute cash, in-kind services, and letters of support. Dr. <br />John Wilkins- Wells, and Dr. Terence Podmore, have developed a detailed scope of work. <br /> <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br />
