<br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />graphs developed using data management packages that are inter- <br />acti ve with the 1.IODSIH model. Estimates of reservoir yield made <br />in previous studies will be reviewed, and the reservoir yield for <br />additional potential facilities will be estimated. Previous esti- <br />mates of sediment load at existing and identified potential fac- <br />ilities will be considered and sedimentation at additional pot- <br />ential facilities will be estimated in order to, determine how <br />accumulation of sediment would affect storage and operational <br />characteristics of the facilities. Particular attention will be <br />given to whether the probable maximum storm, as accepted by the <br />Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers, has been used in <br />previous studies. Where necessary, previous flood studies will <br />be updated to reflect the accepted values. <br />Existing data on present and projected water use and exist- <br />ing hydrologic data will be utilized to analyze possible future <br />water use alternatives. The existing data includes agricultural <br />water ~equirements, per capita municipal and industrial require- <br />ments, hydroelectric power and energy demands, and recreational <br />demands, as well as growth projections. The analysis will in- <br />clude determinations of effectiveness of 1981 decrees and possi- <br />ble acquisitions of earlier water rights, the use of project fac- <br />ilities as primary storage for current and future augmentation <br />plans, and exchange and transfer potentials within the Cache la <br />poudre Basin. The legal constraints and facilitators as provided <br />in statutory and case law will be identified and form the instit- <br />utional parameters of water use and management. The O~CB will be <br />consulted concerning the selection of reasonable alternative uses <br />and projections for use in the identification and screening of <br />possible alternative projects. <br />In order to evaluate alternative projects, future conditions <br />"\~ith project" will be compared to present conditions "without <br />project". The previously compiled hydrologic, water use, and <br />water rights data will be reduced to the form required for input <br />. <br />into the MODSIM model. The model will be operated, and the data <br />will be adjusted, until the results of the model are calibrated <br /> <br />II~4 <br />
