Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming; Upper Colorado River Basin water users; environmental
organizations; National Park Service; and the Colorado River Energy Distributors Association.
Special thanks to Dr. Robert Muth and Mr. Pat Nelson ofthe Recovery Program for their
input into development of the floodplain model. Thanks also to the Biology Committee for their
recommendations and review of the model and associated report.
Dr. Ronald 1. Ryel of Utah State University and Dr. John W. Hayse of Argonne National '
Laboratory provided advise and assistant in development of some aspects of the model.
