Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation Introduction <br /> As originally conceived, the MWSI was expected to achieve three primary objectives: <br /> 1. Development of a technically facilitated planning process designed to <br /> foster collaborative planning efforts among water users while taking <br /> advantage of existing areas of information and expertise; <br /> 2. Development of sufficient analytical capability to evaluate the water <br /> supply yield and operational aspects of a variety of relatively complex <br /> water supply opportunities; and <br /> 3. Conduct the specific technical investigations as needed for evaluation of a <br /> Barr Lake Plan, the Southern Water Supply Project, and the conjunctive <br /> use of non-tributary groundwater and surface water supply systems. <br /> As the investigation evolved, these objectives were refined and modified as described in <br /> Section 2, MWSI Process and Scoping. <br /> By December of 1993 the state retained a team of consultants led by Hydrosphere <br /> Resource Consultants, Inc. to manage and carry out the technical investigations. The <br /> consulting team also included ECI, Inc., HRS Water Consultants, Inc., Mulhern MRE, <br /> Inc. and Spronk Water Engineers, Inc. <br /> 4 <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 />
