Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation Proposal Hydrosphere, Inc. Septmber 17, 1993 Page 56 Methodology and Evaluation Techniques It is anticipated that this task will be an interactive process involving numerous meetings with the TSC and other interested and involved panies. This task will be dovetailed with Denver's proposed water supply planning process and will be a cooperative effort in which brainstorming will be encouraged. Modeling effons will be geared toward providing quick response to ideas which are generated during meetings so that feedback can be provided at subsequent meetings. The yield and operational implications of identified water supply opportunities will be examined both individually and in combination. In order to provide a limit to the extent of this task with regard to budget, a set number of analyses and a prioritized list of options to be explored will be specified at the outset of this task by the Study management team and the TSC. Linkages With Other Tasks This task will draw upon the results of the Scoping, Information Development and Modeling focus areas and will be conducted interactively with the other tasks within the Opportunities Evaluation focus area in order to address all major aspect of opportunities evaluation. Likely Sources of Information To Be Used Information and work products from Tasks 3 through IO will be used in the conduct of this Task. Modeling information from other ongoing and previous studies by Denver Water and other major water providers will be used for comparison and analysis in this task. Anticipated Problems It will probably be necessary to limit the number of analyses to be done within this task in order to stay within the Project budget and schedule. Input from the TSC and Project Management team will be required in order to screen all possible options into a manageable number for detailed analysis. Deliverables For each water supply option investigated a technical memorandum will be provided describing what a given option entails, what players would be involved, and summarizing the modeling results in terms of assumptions, yields, operational implications, etc. Information will be developed in narrative, graphical and tabular form. The technical memoranda would include water supply yield and operational results under alternative operational scenarios and would preliminarily identify physical facilities requirements and required agreements. Cost The initially estimated budget for this task is $40,000.
