Please provide a brief narrative of any related or relevant previous studies. <br />In 2004, the Colorado Geological Survey completed a study called "Artificial Recharge of <br />Ground Water in Colorado-A Statewide Assessment". The goal of this project was to <br />assess the best aquifers in Colorado for their artificial recharge potential of ground water <br />based primarily on their hydrogeological suitability. This study provides summaries of basic <br />terminology of the artificial recharge system, objectives of artificial recharge applications, <br />Artificial recharge technologies, and an inventory of artificial recharge projects within <br />Colorado. <br /><http:llgeosurvey.state.co.uslportalslOlARExecSum%20for%20web.pdf> <br />• augmentation in the lower South Platte River basin, <br />• seasonal storage as part of conjunctive use of ground water and surface water in the San <br />Luis Valley, <br />• direct injection by two water districts in the Denver Basin, and <br />• regulation of water supply and water quality at several smaller municipal water systems. <br />In addition, SMWSA completed the South Metro Regional Water Master Plan in 2007. This <br />report identified buildout water demands, renewable water supply goals and potential <br />sources of renewable supplies. <br />Another study conducted was Senate Bill 06-193 (SB06-193) that directed the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to conduct a study of potential underground water <br />storage areas in the South Platte and Arkansas River Basins. <br />10 <br />
