.. Ofl~ ??1 0.1._........ Also during this period, information collection will be initiated in non-Gunnison river basins to facilitate Year 2 model development. A key component of the State and user involvement program is the establishment of a prototype computer system in a "briefing room" at the CWCB, This system will be established by May, 1994 and allow potential users (including State representatives) to test the CRDSS as it is being developed and provide feedback to the consultant team and project management, Finally, the Year 2 (1995) detailed work plan will be reviewed and revised based on Year 1 accomplishments, 2nd Year (1995) Continue database and model development efforts such that operational models for the water rights planning and consumptive use models will be produced for the Yampa, Upper Colorado. San Juan, While and Dolores River. Continue incorporation of the USBR's Big River Model such that the model is fully operational at the end of the second year. 3rd and 4th Year (1996/97) Plan is less definite than the first two years ofCRDSS development but is currently proposed to include development of water right administrative model, real time data collection, river forecasting model, stochastic flow model and demand forecast model. CRDSS RELATED CURRENT STATE ACTIVITIES Irrigated Acreage Assessment In cooperation with the USBR, the DWR is currently preparing an inventory of irrigated acreage for the Colorado River Basin within Colorado, Irrigated acreage is being delineated on aerial photos by the USBR and field checked by the DWR, Gunnison Basin complete, This data is needed for an accurate consumptive use assessment in CRDSS, Diversion Record Checking The DWR is currently using water commissioners and other staff to check and improve the quality of historical diversion records, This effort will continue through 1994 and 1995, 4
