<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Purpose: To construct a non-potable irrigation system and create a xeriscape garden. <br /> <br />This project consists of building an irrigation system for watering 118 acres of campus lawns with <br />raw water instead of purchased treated water from the City of Greeley. Plans include expanding campus <br />xeriscape plots to a xeriscape garden, and the use of telemetry to irrigate based on soil moisture content <br />measurement. The project includes monitoring the change in water use and the latest in technology regarding <br />irrigation systems. <br /> <br />2) Colorado State University Cooperative Extension (Delta) - Subsurface Micro-Irrigation <br />for Kabocha Squash <br />Authorization~ SB92-87 Grant: $37,760 <br />Progress Status: Complete County: Delta <br />Completion Date: 12/20/01 Grant Contact: Dr. Rick Zimmerman <br />Purpose: To compare subsurface micro-irrigation using different types of drip lines on <br />strawberry plants and Kabocha squash. <br /> <br />This project consists of comparing subsurface micro-irrigation using two types of buried drip <br />lines to surface methods of irrigation. During each irrigation, water use and soil moisture tension was <br />recorded for all methods to evaluate water use efficiency in terms of production. Soil moisture <br />distribution and salinity levels were monitored at three depths for each plot. <br /> <br />16. <br /> <br />Water Conservation Act <br />Authorization: HB 91-1154 <br />Water Source: N/A <br />Location: Statewide <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $500,000 <br />Project Type: Efficiency Demonstration <br />Project Manager: Brad Lundahl <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Colorado General Assembly, under HB 91-1154, established the Office of Water <br />Conservation within the CWCB. Part ofthe duties of the new office included: <br />l) Requiring state agencies to develop water conservation plans for state projects; <br />2) Requiring water providers that deliver more than 2,000 acre feet of water annually to develop <br />water conservation plans; <br />3) Administer grants for water efficiency demonstration projects for municipal/public agency <br />projects. <br /> <br />The legislation authorized $500,000 from the CWCB construction fund with a maximum of <br />$50,000 for each grant. <br /> <br />From 1991 to present, the CWCB has awarded 32 grants for municipal water efficiency <br />demonstration projects. There are no pendiug projects at this time. <br /> <br />17. <br /> <br />Water Rights Determination Svstem Studies <br />Authorization: HB 87-15 <br />Water Source: N/A <br />Location: Statewide <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $266,094 <br />Project Type: Water Rights <br />Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />This study was authorized inSection 4 ofthe 1987 Construction Fund Bill. The authorization was <br />for an "objective operational study of Colorado's water rights adjudication system together with systems <br />employed in other Western states for fixing priority of rights, approving changes in point of diversions, <br />place and character of use, protecting vested rights from injury and maximizing the efficiency of water <br />. use, addressing without limitation: <br /> <br /> <br />Page 9 of31 <br />
