Strategies to be Evaluated <br />The following strategies may help meet our state's consumptive and nonconsumptive water <br />supply needs. The IBCC is not endorsing these strategies, but agrees that they should be further <br />evaluated by examining the opportunities, challenges, and trade-offs associated with each <br />strategy or combination of strategies. <br />Demand Side Strategies <br />¦ Municipal and industrial conservation <br />¦ Agricultural conservation, efficiency, and alternative cropping patterns <br />11 <br />Supply Side Strategies <br />¦ Reuse, recycling, and desalination <br />¦ Agricultural transfers: traditional permanent transfers and alternatives to permanent <br />transfers <br />¦ Optimizing existing storage and delivery systems <br />¦ New in-basin storage that can meet multiple uses and is sensitive to our environmental and <br />recreational needs <br />¦ Development of our compact entitlements on the Colorado River System (either for in-basin <br />use or trans-basin diversion) in a way that strengthens West Slope economies and is sensitive <br />to our environmental and recreational needs. <br />Regional Coordination Strategies <br />¦ Coordinated infrastructure development and opportunities for shared infrastructure <br />¦ Timing of flows to meet multiple consumptive and nonconsumptive needs <br />¦ Opportunities and challenges for managing our compact obligations in a way that benefits <br />the river corridors <br />¦ Integrated management of groundwater and surface water <br />-2-
