<br />. <br /> <br />Amount of request: $25,000 <br /> <br />Cost share and partners: The initial partnership will be between the CWCB Stream and <br />Lake Protection Program staff and the Division Engineer's office in Water Division 7. <br /> <br />Schedule: As soon as funding becomes available the project will start and will continue <br />on an annual basis. This pilot project will start in Water Division 7, and if successful, it <br />will be expanded to all water divisions within the state. <br /> <br />Product Produced: A collaborative operational system to monitor and protect instream <br />flow water rights by appropriate administration within the priority system. Staff from <br />both agencies will work together to import the existing ISF water rights database into the <br />Hydrobase information management system. Graphical Information System (GIS) <br />technology will then be employed to represent the extent, location, and magnitude of the <br />instream flow water rights in context with other significant physical features. Water <br />commissioners will then use this information and periodically quantify the amount of <br />streamflow in the decreed stream reaches and document the observations to produce an <br />annual diversion record for instream flow rights. Administration of the ISFs will be <br />performed within the current daily water management practice of the water <br />commiSSIOners. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water planning relationship: Upon receipt of an adjudicated water right, the CWCB <br />retains the authority to seek protection of its water rights within the Doctrine of Prior <br />Appropriation. Due to the coincident deployment ofDWR staffthroughout the state and <br />the often remote and diverse location of instream flow water rights, the CWCB and <br />DWR will work on this collaborative operations system which will eventually provide a <br />greater amount ofreal-time physical protection for instream flow rights throughout the <br />state. <br /> <br />3. New Appropriations Identification <br /> <br />Grantee/Contractor: CWCB Amount of request: $25,000 <br /> <br />Cost share and partners: Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), Division of Wildlife <br />(DOW) Division of Parks and Recreation (DPOR) and others. <br /> <br />Schedule: 2000-2002 and ongoing as. new appropriations are decreed. <br /> <br />Product Produced: A detailed description of appropriated instream flow water rights <br />describing their basis in the preservation of the natural environment to a reasonable <br />degree. This information will be tied into the Board's existing instream flow database <br />which provides dttailed data on each ISF segment such as location, amount, segment <br />length, water availability information, methodology used, etc. A web-based product is <br />anticipated. <br /> <br />Water planning relationship: This information will provide both public and private <br />entities the detailed information on the basis of each instream flow appropriation <br />throughout the state. This information will be invaluable for statewide water planning, <br />protection and conservation. <br /> <br />. <br />
