associated databases): a) USBR "Colorado River Basin Simulation Model (Big River Model)", b) Water <br />Resource Planning Model, and c) Consumptive Use Model. The Water Resource Planning Model and the <br />Consumptive Use Model will be implemented for the Gunnison River Basin in the prototype system by the <br />Year 1. Also during this period, data collection will be initiated in other river basins to facilitate Year 2 <br />model development. <br />A key component of the user involvement program is establishment of a prototype computer system in a <br />Briefing Room at the CWCB. This system will allow potential users to test the CRDSS as it is being <br />developed and provide feedback to the CRDSS Project Team. <br />Phase Ilb (2nd Year, 1995/1996). <br />Database and model development efforts will continue in Year 2. Operational water resource planning <br />and consumptive use models will be developed for the Yampa, Upper Colorado, San Juan, White and <br />Dolores Rivers. It is also expected that the USBR Colorado River Basin Simulation Model will be <br />operational at the end of the second year. <br />Phases III and IV (3rd and 4th Year, 1996/1998). <br />The last two years of the CRDSS project will include real time data collection, the development of a water <br />rights and administrative model, river forecasting model, stochastic flow model and demand forecast <br />model. <br />SELECTED ACRONYMS <br />AOP Annual Operating Plan <br />BRM Big River Model <br />CRDSS Colorado River Decision Support System <br />CRPAB Colorado River Policy Advisory Board <br />CRSM Colorado River Simulation Model <br />CRSS Colorado River Simulation System <br />CRWCD Colorado River Water Conservation District <br />CSU Colorado State University <br />CWCB Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />DMI Data Management Interface <br />DNR Department of Natural Resources (State of Colorado) <br />DSS Decision Support System <br />DWR Department of Water Resources (State of Colorado) <br />ET Evapotranspiration <br />GIS Geographical Information System <br />GUI Graphical User Interface <br />ICPA Interstate Compact Policy Analysis <br />IMAP Information Management Annual Plan <br />IMC Information Management Committee <br />MAF Million Acre Feet <br />NCWCD Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District <br />
