Leo M. Eisel, Ph.D., P.E. <br />• South Platte River Decision Support System (SPDSS) Feasibility Investigation, <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board/Division of Water Resources, Colorado <br />Department of Natural Resources, Colorado <br />ProjectManager. This yeaxlong feasibility investigation of a decision support <br />system in the South Platte River basin in Colorado was completed in <br />Novembex 2001. Served as pxoject manager for this investigation, which <br />involved three other engineering consulting firms in addition to Brown and <br />Caldwell. A needs assessment was completed to detexinuie the data and <br />components (models, system linkages, and system integzation tools) needs. <br />Altexnatives were developed and investigated. The final recommended <br />SPDSS includes databases and components for streamflow, surface watex <br />divexsions, transbasin diversions, reservoirs, surface water rights, wells, <br />groundwater pumping, geologic structure and aquifer properties, <br />groundwater level data, consumptive use, water budget, climate, snow <br />survey, land use and irxigation service areas and geographic information <br />systems. <br />Valmont Reservoir Yield Analysis, Excel Energy Corporation, Boulder, Colorado <br />ProjectManager. Completed engineering analysis to detexmine if the cooling <br />watex yield of Valmont Reservoir near Boulder, Colorado would be <br />adequate with the proposed sale of the upstream Barker Reservoir and its <br />hydropower water rights. This project involved the modeling of Valmont <br />Reservoir and the estimation of missing data. <br />• Reformation of Eagle-Piney/Eagle-Colorado Project, Denver Board of Water <br />Commissioners, Colorado <br />Principal Engineer. Pxepared engineering and economic analysis to <br />xeformulate the Eagle-Piney/Eagle-Colorado Pxoject. This work produced <br />six alternatives to xeformulate this 1970s era project into a configuration <br />that could be unplemented today (2001). <br />Platte River Report, Western Water Policy Review Commission, Colorado, <br />Nebraska and Wyoming <br />Project Manager. Led team to generate a xeport concerning the hydxology, <br />climate conditions, basin condirions, existing and futuxe water supply <br />demands for municipaliries, agriculture, industry, powex producrion, <br />recreation, endangered species, and preservation of natural conditions in the <br />Platte Rivex for the Western Watex Policy Review Commission. The report <br />also included a survey of existing water development projects, along with <br />existing and future water-related problems in the basin. A major objecrive <br />of the investigation was to document the water resource needs of the basin <br />and pxopose some alternative solurions. The investigation reviewed the <br />successes and failures of water resources planning in the Platte Rivex Basin <br />in Coloxado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. <br />• <br />CMocuments and SetlingsUnark.wagnerlLacal Seltings\Temporary Internet Files10LK111Eisel_Leo.doc
