<br />The Colorado Water Study received $50,000 from the Colorado General
<br />Assembly in 1976, and again in 1977, and funds were matched by the U.S.
<br />Bureau of Reclamation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S.
<br />Environmental Protection Agency (through the Colorado Department of Local
<br />Affairs) provided additional support for analyses of issues of specific
<br />interest to those agencies.

<br />Although conducted by a temporary staff* in the Office of the Execu-
<br />tive Director, Department of Natural Resources, this study would not have
<br />been possible without the assistance of several divisions within the
<br />department, including the Division of Water Resources, Division of Wild-
<br />life, Geological Survey, and Water Conservation Board. In addition, the
<br />Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, and Department of Local
<br />Affairs have assisted in selected aspects of the study. Finally, numerous
<br />individuals from the private sector, Colorado State University, Denver
<br />Research Institute, University of Colorado, and several federal agencies
<br />(Bureau of Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Geological Survey)
<br />have contributed to this study in a variety of respects.

<br />Acknowledgment is also due those who have worked under contract to
<br />the Department of Natural Resources. These include the Environmental
<br />Resources Center, Colorado State University; Ireland, Stapleton, and
<br />Pryor, P.C.; LTW Associates; Moses, Wittemyer, Harrison, and Woodruff,
<br />P.C.; Business Research Division, University of Colorado; Denver Research
<br />Institute, University of Denver; and White and Burke, P.C. (now Yegge,
<br />Hall and Evans). Without exception, these contractors' efforts have far
<br />exceeded the remuneration which the study, given its limited budget, has
<br />been able to provide.

<br />In short, this study would not have been possible without the coopera-
<br />tion, assistance, and expertise of those noted above. The study staff
<br />gratefully acknowledges this help, with the hope that the study will
<br />prove to be a credit to all concerned.
