Alternative Agricultural Water Transfer Methods - Grant and Loan Program <br />Project Summary Sheet <br />Applicant: Colorado Corn Growers Association <br />Water Activity Name: Development of Practical Alternative Agricultural Water <br />Transfer Measures for Colorado Irrigated Agriculture Project <br />Amount Requested: $349,650 <br />Matching Funds: Yes ($38,850) <br />Drainage Basin: S. Platte River <br />Water Source: S. Platte River <br />Project Summary: <br />The purpose of the alternative water transfer program/project is to develop practical <br />alternatives for water transfers which will help maintain economically sustainable <br />irrigated agriculture in Colorado thereby reducing permanent dry up of Colorado irrigated <br />farm land for water transfers. <br />As the above objective implies, the primary focus of this project will to examine other <br />means of providing water that are alternatives to "buy and dry" and that maintain <br />sustainable irrigated agriculture. The Colorado Corn Growers Team (Colorado Corn <br />Growers, Ducks Unlimited, City of Aurora and Brown/Caldwell) proposes to accomplish <br />the objective by rigorously investigating and developing five alternative transfer methods <br />for application to three specific projects in the South Platte Basin and by creating a <br />Business Plan that can be used by agricultural producers, municipalities, industry, etc. to <br />evaluate and to implement alternative agricultural water transfers in the South Platte <br />River basin and across Colorado. This Business Plan will be tested and validated through <br />application of three proposed alternative water transfers as part of this project and will <br />draw on the practical experience gained from other water transfer projects completed by <br />members of the Team. <br />This Business Plan will: <br />• Allow agricultural producers to evaluate various alternative means of transferring a <br />portion of their water while maintaining a sustainable farming practice; <br />• Facilitate the practical implementation of alternative water transfers by agricultural <br />producers in transfers of water to municipal and other users; and <br />• Extend practical utilization of sustainable alternative agricultural water transfer <br />alternatives throughout the state. <br />The grant applicants seek to promote the practical utilization of alternative agricultural <br />water transfer methods in Colorado by building on the work completed by the Statewide
