Task 3 Workshops on Revegetation and Crop Rotation Design <br />• Prepare explanatory materials, schedule meetings, provide background <br />information, and arrange participation of desired experts and scientists. <br />• Report findings and research needs identified. <br />• Engage CSU Co-operative Extension, selected scientists from <br />neighboring states with expertise, USDA Natural Resources <br />Conservation Service, USDA Agricultural Research Service, and other <br />groups, and develop design with Colorado Water Resources Center <br />advice. <br />Method <br />• Building on previous workshops as finally reported in Fall 2007, with <br />advice from the Committee, Wiener will follow previously successful <br />pattern of assembling an expert panel to address each of the topics in <br />separate one-day workshops. <br />• Summaries of workshops will be circulated as draft reports for <br />correction, amendment and additions, and revised summaries will be <br />again circulated. <br />• After additional revisions or additions, reporting will be made to the <br />Committee and in the public report to CWCB and all. <br />Deliverables <br />• Synthesis and observations report on findings, with report on discussion <br />as approved and supplemented by the participants and other contributors <br />(e.g. people unable to attend but wanted, and people identified outside <br />the region but knowledgeable). <br />• Additional comment by Committee, and Basin Roundtable <br />• Recommendations on potential participation improvements and means of <br />involvement in water arrangements <br />• Recommendations for future activity in this area. NOTE: The workshop <br />form of inquiry is designed to quickly and economically identify areas <br />where there are high concerns or important unknowns, and areas where <br />knowledge supports application directly, as in design of a rotation for a <br />given purpose. Please see "rationale for inquiries", above, for further <br />description of the importance of the goals. <br />Task 4 Facilitation of Water Transfer Committee Meetings and Inquiries <br />• Assist in preparation of explanatory materials, scheduling meetings, <br />providing presentations, and facilitation of meetings of both the <br />Committee and for the inquiries as described. <br />Method <br />• Skilled and informed facilitation methods. <br />Deliverables <br />Successful meetings with improved understanding by all participants. <br />
