r <br />rights matters from across the state and who is an <br />at -large member on the roundtable. <br />The South Platte Basin Roundtable will hold its <br />fourth meeting at the end of January. The mem- <br />bers look forward to focusing on more substan- <br />tive issues, such as developing a basin -wide <br />water needs assessment. This assessment will <br />be performed in cooperation with local govern- <br />ments and area water providers, among others. <br />The roundtable will look at both consumptive and <br />nonconsumptive needs, and given the over -ap- <br />propriated nature of the River, will move on to <br />propose projects or non - structural methods for <br />meeting water supply needs. In the January meet- <br />ing, the roundtable will be briefed on any water <br />bills that may be up in the legislature and will <br />continue finding time in the agenda for presenta- <br />tions aimed at educating the members on impor- <br />tant issues, such as augmentation and return flows <br />as well as the findings of Phase II of SWSI. <br />The South Platte Basin Roundtable eagerly em- <br />braces the guiding philosophy set by the Depart- <br />ment of Natural Resources — namely, that its pur- <br />pose, like the purpose of the Act, is "based upon <br />the premise that Coloradans must work together <br />to address the water needs within our entire state <br />[and] ... that we will be willing to work together to <br />do so." (www.dnr.state.co.us/hb1177 /index.asp) <br />This Roundtable embodies that vision. <br />261 Annual American Geophysical Union <br />Hydrology Days <br />March 20 -March 22, 2005 <br />Cherokee Park Room in the Lory Student Center <br />Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO <br />Hydrology Days Award Lecture <br />Frontiers in Hydrologic Sciences: <br />Complexity and Organization in Hydrology <br />by Professor Rafael L.
