<br />Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />As originally conceived, the MWSI was expected to achieve three primary objectives: <br /> <br />I. 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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />As the investigation evolved, these objectives were refined and modified as described in <br />Section 2, MWSI Process and Scoping. <br /> <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 /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Prepared for the Colorado Water ConservatIOn Board, Colorado Department of Natural Resources by <br />Hydrosphere Resource Consultants, 1001 Walnut Street.
