The South Platte River can perform many functions in- <br />cluding its principal function of safe conveyance of flood waters <br />through the metrOpOlitan Area. It can also become a valuahle anenity to <br />not only property adjacent to the river !lut also all residents of the <br />Oenverrnetropolitanarea. To a large extent this opportunity is already <br />being realized in many areas along the river.
