<br />Stream and Lake Protection Program <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Instream Flow Planning and Management Decision Support System <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Grantee/Contractor: <br /> <br />CWCB <br /> <br />Ranking: <br /> <br />High <br /> <br />Amount of Request: <br /> <br />$200,000 <br /> <br />Products Produced: The Instream Flow Planning and Management Decision Support System (ISF <br />DSS) is a multi-faceted project relying on existing GIS capabilities and products; the refmement of <br />existing databases and development of new databases; development of modeling tools; integration with <br />the department imaging system; and the ultimate integration with the Colorado Decision Support <br />Systems which is being developed concurrently. This is a continuation of a phased project for an ISF <br />DSS, which began in March 2002 and involves the preparation of a comprehensive scope of work and <br />planning tools. In Fiscal Year 2002 - 2003, multiple TSF DSS products will begin to be produced as <br />identified below. This funding request is to continue product development into Fiscal Year 2003 - 2004. <br />The ultimate goal will be to produce planning, management and modeling DSS based tools, which will <br />provide accurate information to the Board, its staff, 'stakeholders, and the general public. Product <br />development will be produced as follows: <br /> <br />A. Develop Access/ Sequel Server / Hydrobase compatible databases for: <br />1) New and existing Instream Flow Appropriations and Acquisitions; <br />2) Natural Lake Levels; <br />3) Court Filings; <br />4) Recreational In-Channel Diversions; <br />5) De Minimis Impacts; and <br />6) Integration and refinement of the Imaging database into the ISF DSS. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />B. Consolidate existing GIS layers and develop new layers that will incorporate hydrography, <br />land ownership, gages, counties, and lnstream Flow and Natural Lake Level water rights. <br /> <br />C. Develop Data Management Interfaces with ,the CDSS. <br /> <br />D. Develop modeling tools for ISF needs as~essments as they relate to New Appropriations, <br />Acquisitions, Protection and Enforcement Of more than 1800 state held ISF and Natural Lake <br />Level water rights. Tools will focus on: . <br />1) Gaging needs and a comprehensive lowfIow warning system; <br />2) Real time administration of ISF rights based on further development and refinement of <br />existing modeling tools such as the Colorado Water Rights Administration Tool; and <br />3) Development of other tools and Data Management Interfaces for De Minimis Impact on <br />ISF reaches. . <br /> <br />E. A comprehensive ISF DSS which is accessible via the CWCB Web site. <br /> <br />Water Planning Relationship: This Instream flow management DSS will be a component of the <br />CDSS, which is being concurrently developed; It will offer detailed databases, tools and models which . <br />will be used to manage the appropriation, acquisition, and protection of the state held Instream Flow <br />water rights. <br /> <br />8 <br />
