<br />Findings, Recommendations, and Initial Implementation Steps

<br />groundwater recharge programs), and water supply
<br />development needs.
<br />
<br />. Continue to support development and implementation of the
<br />Statewide Water Supply Initiative (SWSI) as it relates to the
<br />identification of areas with critical water management issues,
<br />water development projects, water supply and demand
<br />imbalances, and infrastructure needs; and the development of
<br />a sustainable process for maintaining inter and intra-basin
<br />communications.
<br />
<br />. Continue development and the appropriate allocation of
<br />resources to the Office of Water Conservation and Drought
<br />Planning in providing technical assistance to covered entities,
<br />evaluating submitted water conservation and drought plans,
<br />administering fund programs, and disseminating information
<br />to the public.
<br />
<br />. Integrate the results of this project, and other relevant projects,
<br />into the SWSI, Federal 2025 Project, and other state and
<br />regional water planning efforts.
<br />
<br />. Provide appropriate resources to continue to develop and
<br />administer market surveys of Colorado water users relative to
<br />important water issues, and to create a temporal database
<br />related to drought and water supply.
<br />
<br />In addition, the CWCB needs to identify methods to keep the
<br />information and goodwill created by developing and administering
<br />this project in front of the CWCB Board and Board staff, DNR, the
<br />Governor's Office and the State Legislature such that the value of this
<br />assessment is fully realized. To address this issue, the CWCB should
<br />look for opportunities to support speaking engagements, connect
<br />with and support the Colorado Water Education Foundation, and
<br />provide information to the SWSI project team including the Basin
<br />Round Table members, the state legislators, and the public at-large.
