The intent of the external user survey is to explain what the CROSS is, how it may impact existing information gathering strategies, and how it will be used within and among the different users. The external nser survey will be conducted using a focus group approach in which various user will be brought together for a II2 day workshop consisting of a one-hour review of CROSS functions, followed by a focus group discussion to determine information needs of the users, and how the CROSS might be used to organize and generate information of water management decisions. Related administrative and policy issues will be discussed as well. A total of four external user survey sessions; one each with the CRWCD, the NCWCD, Denver Water, federal agencies, and other users. Other agencies who routinely WOlX with the above will be invited as appropriate. Attendees Attendees to the External User WoIkshops will be selected from the following agencies and groups: Colorado River Water Conservation District, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, Denver Water, other municipal water
