PREAMBLE <br />As graphically depicted on the coyer, the water of the Upper Gunnison and <br />Uncompahgre River Basins can be used to meet a variety of different and <br />sometimes competing demands. These include recreational uses, irrigated <br />agriculture, livestock production, and municipal and industrial uses. <br />The basin is also confronted with the prospect of potential transmountain <br />diversions. <br />This preliminery evaluation of the area's water resources was conducted <br />iri response to and in association with a large number of local, state, <br />and Federal water interests. We are pl'eased to provide this report as <br />the initial step in the identification, analysis, and financing of a <br />balanced water management plan for the basin. We are confident that the <br />data it contains will result im a more focused and informed discussion of <br />the basin's complex water resource issues. <br />Colorado Water Resources and <br />Power Development Authority <br />
