<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />SECWCD/Arkansas Basin <br />Storage Study Committee <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />February 26,1998 <br /> <br />Forecasts of future water demand in the M&! sector were prepared for the base and high <br />population forecasts, using locally prepared estimates of per capita use. An adjustment was <br />made to reflect the possible implementation of additional water conservation measures. <br /> <br />. Task 6 - Water Demand Forecasts <br /> <br />A draft set of water demand forecasts for the M&I sector was prepared, as presented in <br />Section 5 of the report. <br /> <br />By 2040, M&! water use is expected to increase by between 85,000 af per year (base population <br />forecast with additional conservation) and 192,000 af per year (high growth rate with current <br />levels of conservation). With agriculturaI water use held constant, total water demand with the <br />District is expected to be between 1,043,500 af and 1,1$9,800 afby the year 2040. <br /> <br />. Task 7 - Supply and Demand Comparison <br /> <br />This task has just been started. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Task 8 - Needfor Additional Water Supplies <br /> <br />Specific information provided by water supply entities during Tasks 1 and 2 has been tabulated. <br />Additional assessment of water needs is required. <br /> <br />. Task 9 - Storage Requirements <br /> <br />Specific information provided by water supply entities during Tasks 1 and 2 has been tabulated. <br />Additional assessments will be underway shortly. <br /> <br />. Task 10 - Assessment of Fry-Ark Project <br /> <br />We met with John Gierard of the Bureau of Reclamation (Loveland) to discuss "reoperation" <br />potentials. We also began review of studies undertaken for Colorado Springs, relative to <br />storage space available in Fry-Ark facilities, and met with Lloyd Gronning of Montgomery <br />Watson to obtain an overview of those studies. We hope to have discussions with the SSC on <br />February 26, 1998 to obtain input/ideas from SSC members on this issue. <br /> <br />. Task 11 - Water Storage and Supply Alternatives <br /> <br />An initial matrix of potential water storage options has been developed and is to be discussed <br />at the February 26, 1998, SSC Meeting. <br /> <br />97411\PROGRPT.OO2 <br />
