The report is intended to support a summary report <br /> <br />entitled "Synthetic Fuels Development in the Upper Colorado Region." <br /> <br />Tne summary report was publisned in the Federal ReRister for public <br /> <br />review and comment on July 6, 1981. Support for the summary report <br /> <br />is provided through display and explanation of more detailed technical <br /> <br />information resulting from tne assessment of water supply availability <br /> <br />for and tne water resources implications of synthetic fuel development <br /> <br />in the Region. <br /> <br />Major elements of tne water assessment were conducted by tne <br /> <br />States in tne Region and Federal agencies. Coordination and manage- <br /> <br />ment was achieved by an Advisory Committee under leadersnip of the <br /> <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources. This work was performed <br /> <br />through a basic agreement between the State of Colorado and WRC and <br /> <br />supporting agreements between either WRC or Colorado and other States <br /> <br />and Federal agencies. There also were specialized work activities con- <br /> <br />ducted through consultant contracts. Tne U.S. Bureau of Reclamation <br /> <br />conducted for WRC a separate but coordinated study of tne water and <br /> <br />related impacts in the Lower Colorado Region from synthetic fuels <br /> <br />development in the Upper Region. <br /> <br />ii <br />
