commencing any work related to the use of the groundwater model. The goal is to
define the yield for all existing water resources (both absolute and conditional)
available to each DCWRA Study Group member without any regional cooperation in
shazing individually developed water resources or developing new transmountain
diversion projects. ,
Based upon the water demands estimated above and the results of the water supplies
analysis described above, the consultant will calculate the future water shortage for
each member, assuming that there is no further water supply development by DCWRA
Study Group members.
The consultant will then work with individual DCWRA Study Crtoup members to
identify and analyze any future water supplies available to that member by the year
2050 from groundwater, South Platte River water, non-potable reuse and
conservation. The Management Team will approve wkuch of those identified future
water supplies will be considered for evaluation as part of the Study. The consultant
will conduct a feasibility analysis of the identified supply sources that could be
developed in the future to meet additional demands identified for each member. This
analysis will consist of any actions necessary to maintain the Firm or Safe Yield of
each source, including environmental and monetary costs. This anaiysis will assume
no regional cooperation among DCWRA Study Group members on resource use or
development, no interaction with Denver Water or Aurora (or other public utilities),
and no development of new transmountain diversion projects. Lastly, the consultant
will compaze and contrast each DCWRA Study Group member's future water needs
with their future water supplies to identify any shortages.
Task 2: Management Of Groundwater Resources -a feasibility analysis of inethods to
regionally manage the available Denver Basin ground water for the benefrt of DCWRA Study
Group members
A critical assessment of the opportunities to prioritize the use and distribution of the available
and recoverable Denver Basin groundwater resources available to DCWRA Study Group
Members is required. This assessment must consider the long term performance of the aquifer
system as a resource used for sustainable municipal purposes and should therefore identify a
reasonable management approach to its use through, as well as beyond, the yeaz 2050. The
assessment will consider all significant factors associated with the use of the aquifer including,
but not limited to, well production, water quality treatment and protection, land subsidence
potential and rechazge capacity. The consultant will conduct a feasibility analysis for each of
the following operating scenazios:
Going It Alone -- DCWRA Study Group members operate their e�cisting water supply systems
individually, with no cooperative(unified regional r�anagement effort.
Partial Cooperative Approach -- Some DCWRA Study Group members (the Management
Team will identify the members based on input from DCWRA Study Group members or a
hypothetical case will be considered if no subgroup is readily identifiable by the
