<br />. <br /> <br />FOREWORD <br /> <br />Project REUSE (Renewing the Environment through Urban Systems Engineering) <br />is a cooperative program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments and <br />the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, financed in part by an Urban <br />Systems Engineering Demonstration Program grant from the Department of <br />Housing and Urban Development. The project includes solid waste management <br />and storm drainage and flood control, in an effort to identify and demon- <br />strate concurrent approaches to improve the management and control of the <br />two systems. <br /> <br />The major result of Project REUSE will be short and long range implementation <br />programs for drainage and flood control and solid waste management in the <br />urbanizing areas of the region. A planning and program development method- <br />ology, based on urban systems engineering concepts, is being used during <br />Project REUSE, and is expected to become the accepted methodology for <br />subsequent planning and program development. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />This report, "Drainage Basin Descriptions," provides data and information <br />about 398 drainage subbasins ranging in area between 1000 and 3000 acres <br />each. The maps showing the subbasins are U.S.G.S. 7-1/2 minute Quadrangle <br />Sheets. Drainage data on the maps, and in the accompanying descriptive <br />material, was collected, analyzed and prepared during 1971. For the users <br />convenience, ten sections have been prepared, one for each of the ten <br />Planning Basins into which the 398 subbasins have been assembled for <br />planning purposes. <br /> <br />Leonard Rice Consulting Water Engineers developed the methodology and <br />prepared this report as the drainage consultant to Martin Marietta <br />Corporation. The latter firm is the prime consultant for overall contract <br />management and the solid waste related Project work. <br /> <br />The Project REUSE storm drainage and flood control report series includes <br />the following: <br /> <br />A. Urban Storm Drainage and Flood Control in the Denver Region -- <br />Final Report <br />B. Supplemental Publications <br />1. Planning Manual for Storm Drainage and Flood Control <br />2. Storm Drainage and Flood Control Criteria <br />3. Master Plan for Major Drainage -- Henry's Lake Area <br />4. A Program for Storm Drainage and Flood Control -- 1972-1991 <br />5.
