Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form <br />Foim Revised AIai• 2007 <br />locations. Since these vessels are in high mountain regions, operation of gates and valves, as well as <br />measurement recording, is labor intensive. <br />UAWCD began planning for automation of water and weather data at its six high mountain reservoirs. The <br />proposed water activity allows for remote operation of gates to control water flow rates. The proposed <br />water activity includes on-the-ground construction of flow control equipment (weirs/flumes) at 15 stream <br />locations to increase water exchange opportunities through the use of accurate and time stream flow <br />measurements. Until Case 06CW32 receives final court approval, the District is operating under a <br />temporary plan approved by the Colorado State Engineer in August 2007. <br />UAWCD's structural water activity meets needs dictated by the State Engineer. The Colorado State <br />Engineer's August 2007 approval letter stipulates that UAWCD cannot expand its water market without the <br />structural water activity covered in this project, which has been decreed in part as a condition of water <br />marketing. For instance, the Colorado State Engineer's August 2007 approval letter stipulates the remote <br />continuous recording of reservoir elevations. <br />Funding for this project will ensure that UAWCD continues in its role as a pioneer in conjunctive water <br />management strategies. State-of-the-art field data collection will increase the decision-making framework <br />system-wide. This is vital to the upper Arkansas region to protect its water supplies and to provide for <br />anticipated increased water demand due to projected population growth of 72% between 2000 and 2035. <br />4.
