No new data was collected or de- <br />veloped as part of this project. <br /> <br />The information in this report has been compiled from three types <br />of information sources: <br /> <br />. Published reports from federal and state agencies <br />. 1996 Colorado Water Needs Survey <br />. Interviews with representatives of key Colorado water agen- <br />cies and users <br /> <br />Pertinent published reports are referenced in the report sections <br />in which they were used. <br /> <br />The 1996 the Colorado Water Needs Survey was prepared by <br />Montgomery Watson on behalf of the Colorado Farm Bureau. It <br />was distributed to 150 agencies representing all of the signifi- <br />cant water users in the state. This included 60 municipal water <br />development agencies, 49 water conservancy districts, 3 conser- <br />vation districts, 24 water districts, 9 state agencies, and several <br />private water developers. <br /> <br />A sample of the survey form is contained in Appendix A. The <br />survey sought to gather information on the following subjects: <br /> <br />. Agency characteristics (service area, population, type of cus- <br />tomers) <br />. Existing and projected water demands <br />. Normal and dry year yields of existing sources of supply <br />. Estimated future water requirements <br />. Currently proposed water development projects <br />. Threats to present sources of supply <br />. Interest in participating in statewide water planning efforts <br /> <br />Of the 150 surveys distributed, 53 were returned (35% return <br />rate.) Figure I summarizes the breakdown ofreturned surveys. <br />Due to the nature of the questions, not all respondents fully com- <br />pleted the survey. Contacts were made with the larger munici, <br />palities and water agencies (those serving populations over <br />10,000) in order to improve the return rate from these larger us- <br /> <br />2-1 <br /> <br />__ COLoraDo <br />,._ Farm Bureau <br />
