Feasibility studies and demonstration projects that are designed to answer questions related to statewide water issues or have significant potential to result in loans from the Construction Fund or Severance Tax Trust Fund Perpetual Base Account. Proi ects of statewide impact or importance will be prioritized and recommended to the Board for consideration by a committee composed of the Department of Natural Resources Executive Director, the CWCB Director, the State Engineer, or their representatives, and interested Board members based on the following project types: • Projects, programs or studies that assist in the administration of compact-entitled waters, or address problems relating to compact-entitled waters, • Projects, programs or studies that facilitate solutions to regional water supply problems, • Projects, programs or studies that address federal water rights issues, • Projects, programs or studies that assist in the recovery of threatened or endangered wildlife species or the conservation of existing wildlife species within riparian ecosystems, • State satellite monitoring system improvements and other projects, programs, studies, instrumentation or supplies that assist in the collection and development of hydrologic and climatologic data, and • Water, river restoration, and floodplain management projects, activities and studies affecting agriculture, recreation, or other industries that economically impact significant areas of the state. 2
