� <br />o The water supplier may have obtained conditional reservoir storage <br />decrees in amounts greater than needed for their primary purpose of <br />water supply in order to construct reservoirs large enough to allow <br />other project purposes including reservoir recreation and <br />enhancement of downstream flows. <br />Jo The water supplier may be anticipating a higher growth in water <br />� demand than was forecasted in this study. The forecasts prepared <br />for this study are believed reasonable for the Study Area as a <br />I whole. However, there may be higher growth rates in individual <br />areas, Local water suppliers are ultimately responsible for meeting <br />those demands and may therefore choose to adopt more conservative <br />Iapproaches to meet future needs. <br />� The list of conditional decrees included in the model is presented in <br />Table 3.2. Certain other conditional decrees not included in the basin model <br />I were used when evaluating alternative in-basin development plans and <br />� transmountain diversion projects. 7hese decrees were inserted to serve as the <br />� supporting water right for those potential developments. These decrees are <br />discussed in later chapters where the twn types of development are discussed. <br />3.7 QPERATION UF EXISTING EACILITIES <br />IThe operating procedures of major existing water supply facilities are <br />represented in the basin model. Specific facilities and systems modeled in <br />i detail include the Aspinall Unit, the Uncompahgre Project, the Bostwick Park <br />Project, the Dallas Creek Project, and the Project 7 Water Authority. Smaller <br />I municipal and domestic systems, such as the City of Gunnison and the Town of <br />Crested Butte, were modeled as depletions because of the proximity of their <br />diversion and return flow points. <br />3-9 <br />
