Amount of request: $100,000 Cost share and partners: (to be determined) Schedule: Project began in FY 1999-2000 and is expected to be completed within five years. Product Produced: A groundwater model that projects the effects of confined wells on an aquifer. Water planning relationship: The management district has the Ogallala, Dakota, Cheyenne and Dockum aquifers within its boundaries. The model would compare confined wells to unconfined wells. The district would use the data to proj ect future water levels trends based on different management scenarios. . Stream and Lake Protection 1. Stream Gaging, Water Resources Data Collection and Monitoring GranteeJContractor: Division of Water Resources (DWR), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), CWCB and other private or municipal entities. Amount of request: $60,000 Cost share and partners: The CWCB staff has created a gaging and data collection committee consisting ofrepresentatives from the Stream and Lake Protection Program, Flood Protection Program and Water Supply Protection Program. The committee works cooperatively to obtain water resources data necessary to carry out the mission of the Board within these various program areas. Other stakeholders such as municipalities, counties, water development and environmental interests have participated in cost sharing and are likely continue to participate. The exact amount of cost sharing depends on factors such as location of the instrumentation, number of stakeholders involved and the contractor that is providing the service. Schedule: Annual program Product Produced: New stream gages, improvements to existing stream gages such as the addition of satellite telemetry equipment, as well as other hydrologic and climatologic instrumentation that will provide the Board with raw water resources data. Water planning relationship: This is a statewide effort to obtain and maintain water resources data that is used by the state and many other entities for the purpose of water supply planning, development, protection, and monitoring. With recent cuts in federal programs that have historically supplied much of this data, there is a critical need to continue to not only maintain data collection at existing sites, but to expand the program into other streams and watersheds. The state's Decision Support Systems, which have been or are currently being developed, cannot operate adequately without this raw data. . 2.
