<br />Ill. Introduction: Project Development <br /> <br />2.0 Project Development <br /> <br />The Integrated Decision Support (IDS) Group <br />at Colorado State University has been working <br />with eight Lower South Platte River local and <br />regional water management organizations on <br />this project since 1995. This work has been <br />financially supported by the participating <br />organizations, the Colorado Water Resources <br />Research Institute (CWRRI), the CSU <br />Cooperative Extension and the US Bureau of <br />Reclamation. <br /> <br />Each participating organization, in addition to <br />providing financial support for the project, has <br />provided regular feedback through meetings <br />held approximately every six weeks. The result <br />of this close partnership is the development of a <br />set of computer tools that are collectively called <br />the South Platte Mapping and Analysis Program <br />(SPMAP) for the shallow riverine aquifer along <br />the South Platte denoted by the Stream <br />Depletion Factor (SDF) Boundary (Figure 1). <br /> <br /> <br />The Geographic Information System South <br />Platte GIS (SPGIS) Component is an ArcView <br />based tool that allows the user to identify parcels <br />of land, select wells that serve the parcels, <br />identify the closest weather stations, and assign <br />crop types to parcels. These data can be used to <br />create input files for the SPCU Model (South <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Figure 1: Map of Lower South Platte Study Area <br /> <br />Platte Consumptive Use Model). GIS themes for <br />well locations, streamflow depletion factors, <br />satellite images, USGS quad images, and basic <br />data such as county boundaries, roads, and <br />hydrography to assist in the mapping and <br />analysis. <br /> <br />Completion Report: South Platte Mapping and Analysis Program <br />
