<br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />7.0 RecDmmendations <br /> <br />The following recommendatiDns sre offered fDr cDnsideratiDn by the <br />Colorado Water ConservatiDn Board <br /> <br />1. Purther investigatiDn is necessary to provide definition <br />of the weather variables that exist to produce rainfall <br />abDve 7,500 feet in the Colorado fDothills. Specific variables <br />are the variables mentioned in Table 2. <br /> <br />2. Purther definition of the following storm characteristics <br />needs to be accomplished: storm rainfall elevation above 7,500 <br />feet, the areal coverage, the shape, the speed and direction of <br />motion, orographic impacts and storm rainfall characteristics. <br /> <br />3. The differences between the findings in Jarrett, 1989 and the <br />cDnclusions in this survey with regard to heavy rainfall <br />Dccurring abDve 7,500 feet shDuld be resolved. <br /> <br />4. HydrolDgical analyses should be conducted to address the <br />flooding implications of the rainfall characterisitics at <br />elevations above 7,500 feet. <br /> <br />5. IDP curves (Intensity, DuratiDn ,Prequency ) should be <br />produced which can be used for the CD1DradD Front Range at <br />elevations between 7,500 feet and 10,000 feet. <br /> <br />6. Until further investigations can address and resolve the <br />questiDns regarding rainfall characteristics Df stDrms abDve <br />7,500 feet, the three storm types prDvided in this survey <br />shDuld be considered by planners and decision makers concerned <br />with heavy rainfall at or abDve 7,500 feet, <br />
