Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation Executive Summary <br /> • Coordination and integration among interested parties regarding these interrelated <br /> studies and planning efforts. <br /> • Provide an opportunity for parity to be maintained between large and small providers <br /> and other interest groups; facilitate open discussion and resolution of issues and <br /> concerns, thereby reducing the potential for litigation <br /> • A forum for addressing State policy issues and access to state agency technical <br /> expertise <br /> • An opportunity for regular and periodic updating of the MWSI database <br /> This may be best accomplished by regular periodic meetings convened by an appropriate <br /> state agency such as the Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br /> 2. It is recommended that the MWSI database be periodically updated through a <br /> state-coordinated effort as part of the continuing state-sponsored forum. <br /> The MWSI has resulted in development of a relatively comprehensive and detailed <br /> database base on metro Denver water supply providers and their water supply systems. <br /> This database has improved the understanding of the overall operation and interplay <br /> between metro area water supply systems and the status of individual providers' planning <br /> efforts. For example, information from this database was used to formulate Colorado's <br /> Plan for Future Depletions pursuant to the Platte River Cooperative Agreement. This <br /> database should be maintained and periodically updated so that it continues to be useful <br /> for cooperative municipal water supply planning and assessment of regional and basin- <br /> wide issues. Ultimately this database should be incorporated into the South Platte <br /> Decision Support System. <br /> xiv <br /> Prepared for the Colorado Water Conservation Board,Colorado Department of Natural Resources by <br /> Hydrosphere Resource Consultants, 1002 Walnut Street,Suite 200,Boulder,CO 80302 <br />
