Colorado's water supply future is tied to the larger <br />economic, demographic, and cultural trends of our state. <br />¦ A range of strategies are needed to help meet our state's consumptive and nonconsumptive <br />water supply needs. <br />¦ There are numerous impediments to implementing water supply solutions to meet our <br />consumptive and nonconsumptive water needs. <br />With these observations in mind, the IBCC has draf ted the f ollowing Vision Statement: <br />Vision Statement <br />1Ne envision a Coloradothat sustainablymeetsmunicipal, industrial, <br />agricultural, environmental, and recreational needs by promoting <br />cooperation among all water uses. <br />After gathering Roundtable f eedback, the following revised Vision Statement was drafted: <br />Vision Statement <br />1Ne envision a Coloradothat balances municipal, industrial, agricultural, <br />environmental, and recreational water needs and promotes cooperation <br />among all water uses. <br />3
