A Technical Advisory Committee of major Colorado River water users is helping guide <br />the Project. Mr. Ross Bethel is the State's CRDSS Project Manager. Mr. Bethel is experienced in <br />Colorado water resources engineering and has authored computer programs similar to those required for <br />the CRDSS. Key senior management team members include Gene Jencsok (CWCB) and Dick Stenzel <br />(DWR), both of whom have been instrumental in developing the CRDSS concept. Ray Alvarado (CWCB) <br />and Ray Bennett (DWR) are contributing members of the management team. <br />A consulting team headed by Riverside Technology, Inc.. of Ft. Collins was selected in January 1994 to <br />design and develop the CRDSS. Dr. Larry Brazil is the RTi Project Manager. RTi has broad experience in <br />the development of computerized systems for river basin management. RTi heads a development team <br />that includes water resources and computer systems professionals from Colorado State University <br />(modeling and databases), W.W. Wheeler and Associates, Inc.
