• Need to utilize data and mapping available from the CWCB Flood Protection Section and <br />share appropriate SPDSS data and mapping with this group <br />2.4 WATER RIGHTS ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING NEEDS <br />Water rights administration is the responsibility of the Colorado State Engineer. Water accounting <br />is performed by water users and holders of water rights to demonstrate compliance with water right <br />requirements. Because the same data are used in many cases for water rights administration and <br />water accounting these needs are discussed together. <br />The State Engineer's staff performs daily water rights administration, involving evaluation of past <br />and current flow conditions, data communications, data entry, data storage, and visualization of <br />results. Specific needs of the State Engineer and his staff to facilitate daily administration include: <br />• Access by State and Division 1 staff to current records of water rights, diversions, reservoir <br />storage, priority calls and other data entered by the State Engineer's staff <br />• Access to real-time streamflow, snow, and climate data, and related information about <br />historic statistics (return period, percent of average, etc.) <br />• Ability to enter administrative data only one time in order to account for a number of <br />parameters, including: <br />- diversions <br />- reservoir storage and releases <br />- exchanges <br />- transmountain diversions <br />- augmentation plans <br />- instream flows <br />- conjunctive use <br />- municipal and industrial (M&I) and agricultural return flows <br />• Ability to account for the South Platte River Compact and Three States Agreement <br />• Ability to view more than one day's administration information at a time, including recent <br />and historic administration data <br />• Ability to export administration information as provisional data for distribution <br />• Ability to perform water right curtailment analysis <br />• Ability to notify a list of people via e-mail or other automated method when a priority call <br />is placed <br />• Ability to check administration data against decrees and augmentation plans <br />• Ability to enter diversion water type (e.g., native or transmountain) and user <br />• Ability to account for stream losses and improved estimates of losses <br />• Ability to create updated straight line diagrams listing structures and water rights <br />p:data\gen\spdss~final report\chapter 2.doc 2-S <br />October 31, 2001 <br />
