Water Supply Reserve Account -Grant Application Form <br />Form Revised May 2007 <br />What is the purpose of this grant application? <br />Environmental compliance and feasibility study <br />Technical Assistance regarding permitting, feasibility studies, and environmental compliance <br />xxx Studies or analysis of structural, nonstructural, consumptive, nonconsumptive water needs, projects <br />Study or Analysis of: <br />Structural project or activity <br />Nonstructural project or activity <br />xx <br />Consumptive project or activity <br />Nonconsumptive projector activity <br />Structural andl or nonstructural water proj ect or activity <br />2. Describe how the water activity meets these Threshold Criteria. <br />1. The water activity meets the eligibility requirements outlined in Part 2 of the Criteria and <br />Guidelines. <br />This water activity is developed to support North Platte Roundtable efforts to better document and define <br />consumptive use of irrigation water applied to hay meadows in North Park. Studies of consumptive water uses <br />are eligible for consideration. Water that is used by vegetation (evaportranspiration - ET) is fully consumptive, <br />therefore better knowledge of ET is a critical component of assessing current and future water needs. Historically, <br />there have been few documented studies of evapotranspiration in the North Platte hay meadow environment. <br />Because of the unique weather conditions experienced in North Park -- strong winds, low humidity, high solar <br />energy - it is uncertain how well data collected on evapotranspiration from other areas of the Rocky Mountains <br />applies here. <br />4
