In summary: Mike Shimmin: Meeting of October 29: Most of <br />meeting devoted to Vision Statement/Goals and Strategies that were <br />discussed at last South Platte meeting. CWCB showed slides that <br />showed SWASI study out to 2050. State demographer not yet out to <br />2050. Ran model for projections. Gap expands exponentially by 2050 per <br />model. Discussion began to focus on quantitative significance of water <br />quantitative shortage we are all facing and this discussion began to <br />generate consensus; consensus turned to need for strategies to meet this <br />gap: 1),kN-ater conservation; 2) alternatives to ag dryup; 3) ``fully <br />developing our compact allocations.' Consensus began to congeal by <br />afternoon. Need studies for informed choices, all agreed. Although <br />discussion of vision statement was vague, consensus was reached in <br />terms of adopting the vision statement without the word "sustainable." <br />Eric Wilkinson: Agrees with Mike's statements. Group actually listened <br />to info presented by staff of CWCB; looking at projections in 2030 and <br />2050, presented in such away that dampened mistrust. Staff had data that <br />showed: 25% decrease in per capita demand water conservation; 10% <br />due to increase density; 5% in increase in climate change. M&I demand <br />on per capita demand: lawn water use and temperature increase. Report
