<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />COM <br /> <br />Preliminary SWSI Phase 2 Work Plan Outline <br /> <br />Objective <br /> <br />The Statewide Water Supply Initiative Report developed a number of findings and <br />recommendations. These findings and recommendations were reviewed by the <br />CWCB and led to the adoption of two mission statements, which can be found in <br />Section 11 of the report. Based on the findings and recommendations, the CWCB <br />mission statements, discussions with SWSI BRTs and stakeholders, and <br />recommendations of the SWSI consulting team and CWCB staff, an initial set of <br />priorities have been developed for further analysis. The purpose of SWSI Phase 2 is to <br />further analyze, evaluate, and develop deeper consensus in four key areas. In order to <br />do this, it is proposed that SWSI form Technical Roundtables to continue the dialogue <br />in a facilitated meeting form and conduct technical work around four key areas: <br /> <br />. Water Efficiency (Agricultural and Municipal & Industrial) <br />. Alternative Agricultural Transfers to Permanent Dry-up <br />. Prioritize and Quantify Recreation and Environment Needs <br />. Addressing the 20 Percent M&I Gap, Agricultural Shortages, and Environmental <br />and Recreational Needs Including Development of Alternatives <br /> <br />It is recognized that significant overlap may occur between these topics/ subject areas <br />and that information exchange between Technical Roundtables should be facilitated <br />and coordinated by the consulting team. The overall goal of SWSI Phase 2 is to <br />develop reconnaissance level solutions to address the 20 percent M&I gap, <br />agricultural shortages, and environmental and recreational enhancements. To the <br />extent possible, multi-objective solutions will be sought/ developed. In developing <br />various solutionsl alternatives, the final work product will help policymakers and <br />stakeholders gain a deeper understanding of the relative role that water efficiency, <br />agricultural transfers, and new water development can play in meeting future needs <br />and the trade-offs associated with these solutions. These solutions can then be <br />considered in the context of meeting human needs for water and providing for the <br />needs of Colorado's natural environment and recreation. <br /> <br />Process Overview of Phase 2 <br /> <br />Purpose and Goal of Each Technical Roundtable <br /> <br />The purpose of each technical roundtable is to discuss items identified in a statewide <br />forum with roundtable participants from multiple basins. <br /> <br />Schedule <br />The detailed schedule is attached. <br /> <br />. Number of Meetings - It is anticipated that each roundtable will have three <br />meetings. However, the Addressing the Gap roundtable will be anticipated to <br />continue beyond three meetings under future phases. <br /> <br />S:\PHASE:I WORK PlANlSWSI PHASE 2 WORKPLAN OUTLINE 5-12.0OC <br /> <br />1 <br />
