especially water diversions from the Colorado, form the foundation for the economic <br />engine along the Front Range. <br />So much for philosophizing. Our future will be reliant on economical and <br />environmentally benign water project development. This does not mean "Not one <br />More Drop". We have to manage our State's resources as a State, not regions of our <br />State. Any alternative future needs to recognize this. It probably means that no one <br />gets everything they want but just maybe everyone gives something to get something. <br />The State identified several Colorado River water projects and, once raised to the <br />level of study and discussion, conducted a pogrom to silence the dialogue. These <br />projects will not go away and, if not openly discussed, could very well be the subject <br />of State wide referendums. If we reach a crisis, the people will act and there may be <br />no time to discuss, study, analyze, mitigate or recommend. <br />We need to move feasibility studies on the Blue Mesa pumpback, the Green Mountain <br />pumpback and the Flaming Gorge pumpback through this process, we also need to <br />provide for water and environmental needs for the basins of origin. This is not the <br />work of speculators! These must be public projects with State support because they <br />will result in State-wide benefit. <br />12 <br />I:\INTERBASIN COMPACT COMMITTEEWISIONS FOR COLORADO WATER SUPPLY FUTURE\RESPONSES TO VISIONING AND MARCH MEETING\IBCC REPRESENTATIVE COMMENTS.DOC
