Acknowledgements <br /> The Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation involved efforts by individuals too numerous to fully <br /> mention; such is the nature of cooperative planning. Governor Romer, members of the Colorado General <br /> Assembly, the Front Range Forum, and the Colorado Water Conservation Board all provided critical <br /> leadership. Members of the Project Management Team, the Technical Advisory Committee and others all <br /> contributed to the Investigation in ways too important and extensive to be able to fully describe here.
