<br />. <br /> <br />type of procedure most suitable for this study. The degree of uncertainty associated with <br />the projections will be estimated. <br /> <br />Identify those areas or entities for which existing water supplies may be inadequate now <br />or in the future. Prioritize water demands based on the type of use and the likelihood of <br />water supply shortages in the near future as well as any other criteria that may be <br />adopted. <br /> <br />9a. Provide estimates of existing water demands. <br /> <br />9b. Develop a methodology for the water demand projections. <br /> <br />9c. Prepare water demand projections and identify those areas or entities for which <br />existing and/or future water supplies may be inadequate. <br /> <br />9d. Prioritize water demands. <br /> <br />ge. Select one or more water demand scenarios for use in Tasks 10, I I and 12 in <br />consultation with local interests, the study advisory group and the CWCB. <br /> <br />Task 10 - Formulation of Water Supplv Alternatives <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />With the assistance of local studv Participants and the studv advisorv grOUP, formulate a <br />number of alternatives in each basin to address the water supply issues and problems <br />identified in Tasks 7, 8 and 9. A methodology or rationale for the formulation of <br />alternatives will be developed to include near-tern1 and long-term scenarios. <br /> <br />Alternatives will include both structural and non-structural elements that could be used <br />individually or in combination. Extensive use should be made of exiting information in <br />identifying structural and non-structural elements before new concepts are developed. <br /> <br />Non-structural measures will include but are not limited to: efficiency in water use, water <br />rights transfers or exchanges, water leasing, improved water management techniques, <br />revised operations of existing systems and new or revised institutional arrangements <br />which have the potential to reduce demands and/or increase supplies. <br /> <br />Structural elements will include but are not limited to: groundwater utilization, new water <br />storage reservoirs, enlargements of existing reservoirs, improvements to existing <br />reservoirs to remove dam safety restrictions, trans-basin diversions, regulating storage, <br />pump-back schemes and water reuse facilities. Hydropower development will be <br />considered where it appears to have significant potential to repay some portion of the <br />costs of other project purposes. <br /> <br />lOa. Develop a methodology or rationale for the formulation of alternatives. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />10 <br />
