<br />, <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />Statewide Watar Supply Initiative <br /> <br />Task 9 - Existing and Projected Water Demands . <br /> <br />Purpose <br />To estimate existing water demands and project future water demands for each of the <br />state's eight basins. Water demands will include agricultural, residential, commercial, <br />industrial, and in-stream uses. <br /> <br />Phase 3: Alternatives Development and Evaluation (Tasks 10-11) <br /> <br />Task 10 - Formulate Basin Alternatives <br /> <br />Purpose <br />To catalog for each of the state's 8 basins the various water supply and demand <br />management options for meeting demands. These options will be identified through <br />the Basin Roundtable discussions and from previous engineering studies and reports. <br />A screening process will be used to rank these supply options. <br /> <br />Task 11 - Evaluate Alternatives at Statewide Level <br /> <br />Jhwpese. <br />To evaluate alternatives developed at the basin level in Task 10 at the statewide level, <br />using a more integrated approach. This precise method for accomplishing this is still <br />under consideration but would generally involve developing objectives and <br />performance measures to evaluate the merits of these alternatives. A systems <br />simulation might be useful as a decision support tool to help evaluate these . <br />alternatives at the statewide level. The evaluation process might include several <br />major elements as outlined below: <br /> <br />1. Develop objectives and associated performance measures, which become the <br />evaluation criteria by which alternatives are compared against. Also identify <br />stakeholder preferences for these ;objectives. Stakeholder preferences indicate <br />the relative impprtance for ea.ch objective. <br /> <br />2. Develop and utilize a systems evaluation tool, which brings together the <br />evaluation criteria and simulates the performance of the alternatives in a <br />comprehensive, integrated manner. <br /> <br />3. Create standardized score cards tor each alternative that summarize the <br />performance in an easy to understand manner and that stakeholder <br />preferences can be applied to. <br /> <br />4. Find common ground between stakeholder preferences in order to identify <br />those projects that have the greatest chance for success and should be <br />prioritized for implementation. . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />DRAFT SCOPE - REVISED 3/26/03 <br /> <br />Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br />C:\DOCLmBnIS and Setlln~s\rb3\My Cocument&\CWC8ahortSWSI Scope Draft S-11-IXI.doc <br />
