Provide a brief description of your organization below: see "Description of Applicant" in Part 2 of Criteria and <br />Guidance for required information. <br />Colorado State University is one of the nation's leading research universities, with world-class <br />research in numerous areas including water resources planning and management and environmental <br />science. It was founded in 1870 as Colorado Agricultural College, six years before the Colorado <br />Territory became a state. Last year, CSU awarded degrees to more than 5,000 graduates and <br />attracted nearly $300 million in research funding. CSU is a land-grant institution, a Carnegie <br />DoctorallResearch University-Extensive, and is the "university of choice" for Colorado residents (30% <br />of all of Colorado's science, math, engineering and technology majors pursue degrees at CSU). <br />Since 1999, Colorado State University has conducted extensive field and modeling studies of the <br />irrigated stream-aquifer system of the lower Arkansas River Valley in Colorado. Several projects <br />totaling over $2.5 million in funding support from a wide range of federal, state, and local agencies <br />have contributed to this multi-faceted effort. These ongoing studies seek to develop insights into <br />several current water-related problems and to identify promising solution strategies for consideration <br />by water managers and users in deciding how to best meet the sustainable water supply needs of the <br />Valley, while improving environmental and water quality conditions and complying with existing water <br />right decrees and river basin compact agreements. <br />2
