Task 505 - Develop and Screen Alternative Source List <br />Develop a list of potential alternative sources of water with input from the Conduit participants. <br />Alternatives will be screened to insure they pass criteria that apply to Project water and <br />operations. Develop a list of alternatives to be further evaluated. This is important for future <br />growth and water sources for participants in the Conduit. <br />Deliverables will include a complete technical report detailing the evaluations of operations, <br />exchange potential, and water sources, including final recommendations. The findings from the <br />investigations described above will assist the Conduit Participants in evaluating potential <br />additional supply alternatives. <br />These tasks and deliverables will provide valuable information to the Conduit participants, <br />District Engineer, SECWCD, and water users along the lower Arkansas River. They will also <br />assist Conduit Participants in evaluating potential additional supply alternatives. This <br />information will be important for the Conduit during the Environmental analysis phase of the <br />Conduit. <br />Task Groun 600 - Perform Particinant Water Supnlv PlanninQ Evaluations <br />In conjunction with further evaluating available supplies and proposed operations, short and <br />long-term planning efforts for the Participants will be implemented. Planning will consist of <br />supply acquisition or development, water conservation efforts, or drought planning. These <br />evaluations will focus on individual participant water supplies. <br />Specific tasks include: <br />Task 601- Conduct Participant Planning Evaluations <br />Assist in evaluating availability of regional water supplies, current and future water use, <br />implementation of conservation measures, reuse of available supplies, implementation of non- <br />potable systems, drought response planning, and potential disposition of existing supplies to <br />facilitate other operations. Such planning efforts would also consider projects or processes <br />contemplated for implementation by the Arkansas Basin Roundtable and potential funding <br />opportunities. <br />Task 602 - Evaluate Native Water Right Yields <br />Evaluate native water right yields that may be available from each of the participants, including <br />potential re-use and maximization of the exchange potential of existing supplies. <br />Task 603 - Investigate Potential Operational Opportunities <br />Investigate and evaluate potential operational opportunities between various municipal and <br />agricultural water users which may include water banking, leasing, or fallowing opportunities.
