<br />continue in this fiscal year. This information will be transferred to the lnternet and updated annually. Additional <br />products, like specific basin instream flow fact sheets, will be produced as by-products and made available in hard copy <br />and on the lnternet. <br /> <br />Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission - Rural Water System/Methane Gas Fields <br /> <br />Authorization: FY 2001 Grant Amount: $30,000 <br />Water Source: N/A Project Type: Water Quality Study <br />Location: Trinidad Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />The CWCB is authorized by statute (Section 37-60-115, CRS) to make water resource studies and investigations, <br />including groundwater studies, watershed planning studies, and river restoration projects. An opportunity exists for the <br />study of a rural domestic water supply created as a by-product of methane gas extraction near Trinidad. This study could <br />evolve into other water/energy production related technologies. <br /> <br />Colorado Geological Survev - Statewide Groundwater Atlas <br />Authorization: FY 200 I Grant Amount: $40,000 <br />Water Source: N/A Project Type: Water Rsrce lnfuntion <br />Location: Statewide Project Manger: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />Work has begun on producing a statewide groundwater atlas. The atlas will begin as a non-technical soft cover book and <br />evolve into an Internet based atlas covering the entire state. This will complement existing and developing Decision <br />Support System tools. The "smart" Internet based product is expected to be available in 2002-2003. <br /> <br />Soil Conservation Board -- Ogallala Aquifer Water Management Program <br />Authorization: FY 2001 Grant Amount: $30,000 <br />Water Source: Ogallala Aquifer Project Type: Water Systm Evaluation <br />Location: Eastern Colorado Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />Two state employees provide well testing, irrigation system evaluations, and irrigation water management services to <br />land owners from Baca County to Sedgwick County. The program results in the substantial conservation of energy and <br />water. Over 700,000 acres of irrigated land overlays the Ogallala aquifer in Colorado including Baca, Prowers, Kiowa, <br />Cheyenne, Kit Carson, Yuma, Phillips and Sedgwick Counties in eastern Colorado. This irrigation water management <br />program provides needed water planning technology to the area's farmers. The Soil Conservation Board is expected to <br />make a General Fund request to support this program in the future. <br /> <br />Division of Water Resources - Republican River Compact Investigation <br />Authorization: FY 2001 Grant Amount: $75,000 <br />Water Source: Republican River Project Type: Groundwater Study <br />Location: Eastern Colorado Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />This request is designed to help accurately define and quantify the amount of Ogallala aquifer groundwater that is <br />consumed within the Republican River Basin. This will be accomplished through a comprehensive well survey. We <br />anticipate the review and analysis of about 2,100 wells. This will be done by reviewing information in the groundwater <br />database known as Well Look, then by performing on-site inspections to verify information, and finally by collating and <br />mapping the field information. <br /> <br />Southwestern Water Conservation District - La Plala County Water Studies <br />Authorization: FY 2001 Grant Amount: $20,000 <br />Water Source: N/A Project Type: Water Mngmnt PInning <br />Location: La Plata County Project Manager: Mike Serlet <br /> <br />30 <br />
