<br />Acknowledgements <br /> <br />This report represents the brain work of a large number of people and organizations that <br />sought to create something, a Drought & Water Supply Assessment, that had not been <br />previously created - in terms of its scope with respect to the number and kinds of <br />questions that needed to be asked, and its reach with respect to the number of different <br />people and organizations that graciously committed their time and personal energy to <br />contribute to the assessment. Those organizations that provided invaluable support <br />throughout the planning, development and implementation of this project includes those <br />listed below. <br /> <br />. Executive Directors Office of the Department of Natural Resources <br />. Directors Office of the Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />. Office of Water Conservation of the Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />. State Engineers Office (Division of Water Resources) <br />. Division Engineers in All Seven Major River Basins <br />. Department of Local Affairs <br />. Flood Protection, Water Supply Planning and Finance, Water Supply Protection, and <br />Stream and Lake Protection Sections of the Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> <br />In addition, various consulting firms provided expertise and experience in the database <br />management, water rights and water administration, carry-over storage, water <br />conservation and drought planning, drought mitigation, statutory framework of water <br />conservation and drought management, public relations, human environmental behavior, <br />and the general nature of drought. These skills were used to bolster and support our <br />team's efforts in crafting, testing and administering the assessment, ultimately allowing <br />for the characterization of water user needs across the state. Consulting firms, and <br />noteworthy individuals, that contributed to the preparation of this report include: <br /> <br />. Bouvette Consulting <br />.
