<br />\. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />It may be necessary to conduct additional modeling using better data that may have <br />to be collected through additional fieldwork. In particular, data on the amount of <br />historical pumping may have to be improved through field investigations and user <br />interviews. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Chapter 11 - Overview of the Scope of Participation by the State of Colorado in <br />Processes Associated with the Implementation of the Endangered Species Act of <br />1973 with Respect to the Water Resources of the South Platte River Basin and <br />Denver Basin (Technical Addendum No.3) <br /> <br />This chapter summarizes several options to fund actions by the State of Colorado <br />and Colorado water users to fulfill commitments identified in the recently signed <br />Cooperative Agreement for the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program. It <br />also describes some options for administrative structures for managing the funds. <br /> <br />The successful implementation of the Platte River Basin Endangered Species <br />Cooperative Agreement is crucial to the ability of Colorado water users to meet the <br />increasing demands for water resulting from population growth. In tum, successful <br />implementation is dependent upon sufficient funding to accomplish the objectives of <br />the Agreement. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Chapter 12 - Assessment of Opportunities for Local and Regional Water <br />Management to Enhance the Reliability and Yield of Water Resources in South <br />Platte River Basin and Denver Basin Aquifers (Technical Addendum No.1, Chapter 7) <br /> <br />This chapter assesses opportunities for the application of local and regional water <br />use efficiency and reuse technologies and methods, in conjunction with additional <br />water sources, to enhance the reliability and yield of water rights associated with the <br />water resources of the South Platte River Basin and Denver Basin aquifers. <br /> <br />Future water demands in the metro Denver region most likely will be met from a <br />combination of six possible water supply sources. These are listed below: <br />1. Water use efficiency measures <br />2. Reuse and exchanges <br />3. Water imported from other basins <br />4. Denver Basin ground water <br />5. Expanded utilization of South Platte water supplies <br />6. Conversion of in-basin agricultural water rights <br /> <br />The positive and negative impacts on competing resources resulting.. from using <br />these six potential sources are shown in Table 12-2, page 12-6. <br /> <br />These sources have been combined to formulate two possible future scenarios <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- 12- <br />
