• Implementation of training programs to facilitate access to data by water users <br />• Increased effort in an existing Division 1 program to accurately locate most non- <br />exempt wells within the Division <br />• Constructing approximately 66 monitoring wells to provide additional geologic <br />structure, aquifer property and water level data for the Denver Basin and Overlying <br />Alluvium Region and the Lower South Platte Alluvium Region, thereby fulfilling <br />many of the recommendations of Senate Bill 96-74 (SB 96-74) <br />• Performing field studies at approximately 40 sites to characterize streambed <br />conductance <br />• Conducting aquifer pumping tests at 8 sites using existing pumping wells <br />• Estimation of municipal well pumping based on user interviews, population data and <br />water use data <br />• Estimation of irrigation pumping based on crop irrigation requirements which have <br />been calibrated with actual pumping records <br />• Access to improved consumptive use and irrigated acreage data, including estimates <br />of phreatophyte consumptive use in the basin <br />• Development of, and access to, transit loss data <br />• Easier access to additional and improved well location, water level and pumping data <br />• Expansion of Stream Depletion Factors (SDF) into tributary areas where they do not <br />presently exist <br />• Development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) database (e.g., streamflows, <br />diversions, wells, irrigated lands and ditch service areas) available to all users <br />• Improved tools to access data and models, e.g., StateView, StateMod graphical user <br />interfaces, time series tools and groundwater model displays <br />• More efficient access to data for input to models and tools developed by others, <br />e.g., access to crop coefficients for importation to the South Platte Mapping and <br />Analysis Program (SPMAP) <br />• Faster access to data as a result of upgraded hardware and software <br />• Periodic updates and database refreshing <br />• Graphical and visual displays of data <br />• Mapping of current land use, including irrigated areas, crop types and vegetation <br />(within the groundwater modeling areas) using multiple satellite images from the <br />2000 season. <br />• Mapping of approximately 1500 diversion structures and approximately 500 <br />irrigation distribution systems with water use linked to the irrigated acreage <br />• Mapping of historic land use for three historic time periods including one each from <br />the 1950s, 1970s and late 1980s. <br />p:Adata\gen\spdss\final report\executive summary.doc E'-S <br />October 31, 2001 <br />
