Eric Kuhn - I am jumping ahead in the memo but for a 100 - 250K AF gap the reality is going to be <br />there is only going to be so much new water supplies out there. We will be forced to innovate. I <br />think we should put a cap on the amount of the water that the state has and see if this forces <br />innovation. <br />Jeff Devere - We need to fundamentally do things radically different. The U. S. is the most <br />unsustainable country in the world. Sustainability is ultimately a design issue. <br />Mike Shimmin - With 2.5 million more people we need to think differently and perhaps a policy <br />discussion should include that new residents should not bring expectation of water use with them. In <br />the fixture we are going to have to do something differently. The kind of growth that happens in the <br />future needs to be different. <br />Peter Nichols - You should consider a multivariate analysis includes per capita analysis and climate <br />change. <br />Kathleen Curry - We are finally getting down to the real discussion. What are the big needs in the <br />gap areas and what have they done to try and meet the gap. We need to figure out a way to look at <br />the whole picture. <br />Rod K. - some people have renewable supplies and have to deal with growth and others have to <br />deal with a nonrenewable supply and growth. <br />Discuss Evaluation of Strategies - Agricultural Transfers and Transbasin Diversions <br />Harris Sherman asked the IBCC to have a brief discussion regarding Agricultural Transfers and <br />Transbasin Diversions. <br />Peter Nichols - There are several models now that should that be used across where agriculture is <br />preserved and water is still provided to cities. <br />T. Wright Dickinson - How are we going to incorporate the work from the Ag Alliance on <br />efficiency? <br />Eric Hecox - this information will be included in the strategy analysis. <br />Ray Wright - What about areas of the state that if agriculture is removed there is nothing to fill the <br />void? This is a state issue and water is not a state alone issue. <br />Bill Trampe - We need to look at how this is going to impact other fields besides water - there <br />needs to be a general discussion about these other issues outside of water. When you are looking at <br />things 40 to 60 years out you need to be inclusive because things are interrelated. <br />Ray Wright - How would you suggest how to insert these things into the discussion?
