MR. MOULDER:

"Members of the Legislature, Mr. Chairman,
Board members, ladies and gentlemen, one thing
I'd like to do is call attention to the index
of Water Resources Investigations that have
been sponsored in part by the Geological Survey,
and call attention to one item that indicates
a number of observation wells, which are being
published by the Geological survey. In this
particular instance, the numbers shown there
include a number that are measured and were
initiated by the Colorado state university.

The Water Resources Division of the Geolog-
ical Survey, of which I am a member, cooperates
with the Colorado Water Conservation Board and
numerous other local, state and federal agencies
in their studies. We can't claim to be the
first ones who have made ground water studies
in the area; Colorado state has that particular
distinction and Mr. Code, whom I don't see here
today, probably is the grandfather of ground
water studies in this state.

To put things in perspective a little
bit, I'd like to mention that the Water Re-
sources Division has three categories of
studies that they make. One, they make studies
of surface water; two, they make studies of
ground water; and, three, the Quality of Water
people supplement both of these programs with
their quality of water studies. To date the
Quality of Water Branch has not been especially
active in the state but it looks like in the
very near future they will be.
