Colorado Water for the 21St Century <br />The Water Supply Reserve Account <br />Colorado Senate Bill 06-179 establishes the <br />Water Supply Reserve Account (WSRA), a 5- <br />year $42 million grantlloan program. The <br />effective date of the legislation is July 1, 2006 <br />through June 30, 2011. Criteria and guidelines <br />for allocating the funds from this account have <br />been jointly developed by the IBCC and the <br />CWCB. In order to receive funding from the <br />WSRA, a proposed activity must first be <br />approved by the local Basin Roundtable and <br />then by the CWCB Board. Eligible water <br />activities include: <br />^ Grants for environmental compliance and <br />feasibility studies. <br />^ Technical assistance regarding permitting, <br />feasibility studies, and compliance. <br />^ Studies or analysis of structural, <br />nonstructural, consumptive, and non- <br />consumptivewater needs, projects, or <br />activities. <br />^ Structural and nonstructural water projects <br />or activities. <br />Further details are available at: <br />htt~ a/cwcb.state. co.us/IWNID/WaterSu~plyReserve/ <br />Statewide Water Supply Initiative <br />In 2003, the Colorado legislature recognized the <br />critical need to understand and better prepare for <br />Colorado's long-term water needs, and authorized <br />the Colorado Water Conservation Board to <br />implement the Statewide Water Supply Initiative <br />(SWSI). SWSI is a comprehensive study of how <br />Colorado will meet its future water needs. The <br />critical success factors outlined for SWSI were: <br />Define clear purpose and objectives, <br />Incorporate stakeholders indecision-making, <br />Develop institutional framework for <br />implementation, Develop funding strategies, <br />Utilize multi-faceted approaches to water <br />resources development <br />projects, and are capable of implementing those <br />projects. SWSI documented and summarized <br />these identified projects or processes that are in <br />place to address future water needs. Where <br />entities need implementation assistance, SWSI <br />addressed planning and implementation needs, <br />identified projects for possible implementation, and <br />developed strategies for project implementation <br />including potential cooperative and collaborative <br />efforts. For areas where specific projects were not <br />identified by water providers or water users, SWSI <br />relied on a stakeholder process. <br />The options developed by the SWSI stakeholder <br />process generally fall within the following <br />categories: <br />SWSI was not intended to take the place of local conservation <br />water planning initiatives.
