<br />~_..~'...-.- <br /> <br />".... ...~..~ <br /> <br />For its part, HydroBase is designed and planned as the unified database structure that will join <br />all data components that support CRDSS, SPWRMS, and future internal software development <br />and water data access. This interlocking design is part of the Water Conservation Board's long <br />range plan goals but as yet, is not funded. It is suggested, and the design allows, that CRDSS <br />be extended to the remaining non-Colorado River Basin areas of the state in the near future. <br /> <br />Because of the geology of the western slope, ground water data and planning tools were not <br />required for the Colorado River Basin. Therefore, to extend CRDSS to Divisions 1, 2 and 3, <br />existing and undeveloped ground water data and planning models may be needed to realize a <br />statewide "Colorado Water Decision Support System" or "CWDSS." <br /> <br />4.0 Plan and Schedule <br /> <br />Table 4.1 and Figure 4.1 present a list and schedule for developing the information and <br />evaluation tools that are expected to be needed to effectively manage, conserve and preserve the <br />State of Colorado's water resources. The list and schedule are based on the available <br />information identified in this report and builds on the experience and successes of existing <br />programs described in Section 3.2. The estimated costs assume 85 % of the work to be privately <br />contracted and 15 % of the work to be performed by state employees. It is envisioned the plan <br />be re-evaluated annually for progress, and to examine technological advances and any unique <br />demands that arise within specific regions of the state. <br /> <br />16 <br />
