My presentation entitled "1993 Flood Issues and Mitigation Opportunities" <br />discusses 1993 issues and opportunities to mitigate future flood problems during the post- <br />flood recovery period. In 1993 there were no flood disaster declarations made by the local, <br />state or federal governments: However, we have received many requests for technical and <br />financial assistance from towns/cities, counties, irrigation companies and individual property <br />owners. <br /> <br />The Board has been successful in obtaining assistance for Colorado entities through <br />the Corps of Engineers (Corps) and Soil Conservation Service (SCS) programs. The SCS's <br />Emergency Watershed Program has proven to be the most beneficial program in addressing <br />many of the streambank erosion problems. These programs address many problems but <br />there are still some important issues that should be addressed. I present the following seven <br />Issues. <br /> <br />o A Colorado Snowmelt Runoff Model <br /> <br />Issue: Accurate projection of stream flows and stages for localized areas or stream <br />rcaches. Knowing is important! <br />
