<br />Product Produced: A publication will be completed and produced covering an analysis of snowmelt <br />timing in Colorado utilizing SNOTEL site climate data. The comparative data indicates that snowmelt <br />is occurring earlier at all of the streamflow and SNOTEL sites, in some cases as much as 2 weeks. <br />Changes in snowmelt timing are strongly correlated with increasing springtime air temperatures. These .A. <br />preliminary results provide new information that will have important implications for water resource ,. <br />management and availability in Colorado. <br /> <br />Water Plauning Relationship: Access to accurate, detailed runoff data is important for drought <br />monitoring, water supply planning and management, construction project planning and design, flood <br />warning and documentation, and water education. <br /> <br />Recommendation: Staff gives a medium recommendation for funding of this project because of its <br />relative importance among the other requests and the potential to obtain funding to complete the study <br />from within the sponsoring agency or from other agencies. <br /> <br />6. Statewide Monitoring and Assessment of Reconfigured Stream Channels <br /> <br />Beneficiary/Grantee/Contractor: USGS, Various <br />Amount of Request: $50,000 <br /> <br />Ranking: <br /> <br />Medium <br /> <br />Product Produced: The study will expand the scope of the existing USGS program to include rivers <br />in Southern Colorado and will build upon ongoing monitoring and analyses of river reconfiguration <br />projects in Western Colorado. Monitoring sites will be established on two new river reaches to collect <br />baseline data against which future monitoring data will be evaluated, and to publish an evaluation of the <br />geomorphic response of other reconfigured reaches in the Reconfigured Channel Monitoring and <br />Assessment Program. e <br /> <br />Water Planning Relationship: Channel restoration techniques are an invaluable source of data for <br />resource managers, planners and designers. <br /> <br />Recommendation: Staff gives a medium recommendation for funding of this project because of its <br />relative importance among the other requests and the potential to obtain funding to complete the study <br />from within the sponsoring agency or from other agencies. <br /> <br />7. Meteorological Services for Statewide Flood Prediction and Data Collection <br /> <br />Beneficiary/Grantee/Contractor: CWCB, Various <br />Amount of Request: $100,000 <br /> <br />Ranking: <br /> <br />High <br /> <br />Product Produced: Meteorological services would be provided to the CWCB to assist with flood and <br />water supply outlooks for the entire flood season. These services include active participation and <br />detailed presentations at the March CWCB meeting as well as all Flood Task Force and Joint Flood and <br />Drought Task Force meetings. The services also include such tasks as daily forecasts by watershed or <br />region to indicate potential snowmelt or rainstorm flooding on a relative scale, flood threat bulletins that <br />provide up to IS-day forecasts to supplement NWS short-term forecasts, and reconstitution of actual <br />flood events to show spatial precipitation coverage for the events. The purpose of this comprehensive <br />service is to provide location specific forecasting and notification that can be placed on the website and <br />emailed to emergency managers, floodplain managers, water users or other interested parties. e <br /> <br />Water Planning Relationship: Flood prediction, planning and documentation activities are vital <br />tools for the flood protection program, and they are also invaluable to water supply and drought <br /> <br />18 <br />
