<br /> <br />North Platte River Basin Water Use, Growth & Water <br />Demand Projections <br /> <br />Department of Natural Resources-Colorado Water ConseNation Board <br /> <br />March 2002 <br /> <br />This is part of the CWCS's continuing cffort to help <br />communities determine whether their existing water <br />supplies are adequate.

Tasks <br />yet to be completed include the publication of watcr <br />infonnutiol1 fact sheets. a drought planning assessment/ <br />carry-over storage assessment. and these preliminary <br />growth and water demand projection fact sheets. These <br />materiab and others are available at our websitc. <br /> <br />u <br /> <br />Basin Statistics - These numbers give a general overview of <br />the current (2000) and future (2030) statistics within the basin, <br />Year Population Ir.-igated Total Diversions Current Total <br /> (3) Acres (7) (R) Storage <br /> Ca(mdt,y (6) <br />2000 2.850 130,000 658,400 acre feet 33,662 acre feet <br />2030 4,500 130,000 658,700 acre feet 33,662 acre feet <br />Percent +58% 0% +0.04 % 0% <br />Change <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />~ <br />1 <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />North Platte River Basin Projected Future Water Demands !! 0.8) <br /> <br /> 700 <br /> 600 <br /> 500 <br />. <br />" <br />- <br />. <br />. <br />, 400 <br />0 <br />S <br />" <br />. <br />~ <br />t 300 <br />~ <br />e <br />u <br />., <br /> 200 <br /> 100 <br /> 0 <br /> <br /> Native Supply <br /> -lrrigationCU <br /> -MunicipalCU <br /> -TotalCU <br /> -Total Demands/Diversions <br /> -Exports <br />. . . . <br /> <br />2000 <br /> <br />2010 <br /> <br />2020 <br /> <br />2030 <br /> <br />Year <br /> <br />1- .. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Walcher <br />DNR Executive Director <br /> <br />Rod Kuharich <br />CWCB Director <br /> <br />DrClft <br /> <br />lloooinPopUat....~eo....y (2f <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />n Natiw Supply = <br />Undepleted. <br />unregulated available <br />surface water.
