The three major <br />elements of this study include; location of a diversion and interconnect from <br />the North Fork of Kannah Creek (North Fork) to Juniata Reservoir; expansion <br />of Reeder Reservoir for additional storage of raw water diverted from the North <br />Fork; and location of an interconnect between Reeder Reservoir and the proposed <br />new Kannah Creek Flow 1 ine. Improvements to each of these system components <br />are intended to optimize available water rights the City of Grand Junction now <br />owns in order to meet future water demands. HDR was authorized to initiate <br />this study in July, 1985 by the City of Grand Junction. <br /> <br />1.1 RECOMMENOATIONS <br /> <br />As a result of field investigations and preliminary engineering completed over <br />the past four months, a series of recommendations has been developed with <br />regard to those items inc 1 uded in our scope of work. Pre 1 imi nary <br />recommendations have been reviewed and approved by City staff. Table 1-1 is a <br />summary of these recommendations. The map in Figure 1-1 illustrates the <br />location of each of these improvements. <br /> <br />The importance of the proposed improvements to the overall water supply system <br />is readily apparent when looking at the existing capability and water demands. <br />The North Fork to Juniata Reservoir interconnect allows the City to take full <br />advantage of its water rights in the Kannah Creek watershed by diverting flows <br /> <br />1-1 <br />
