. . PHASL II: INVENTORY OF RESOURCES AND NEEDS Any planning effort should begin with an identification of resources that are available and identification of needs or de- mands that can utilize these resources. The objective of Phase II of the proposed study will be to identify and inventory the water resources of the Cache la Poudre Basin, the needs (uses) that can be supplied by the resource, and the existing and pot- ential facilities that could fully develop the resource. During this phase of the study, an inventory of existing and potential facilities that may be used in combination to formulate alterna- tive integrated projects for development of the resource will be assembled. Water supply and flood hydrology data needed to guant- ify the resource and its use as well as water rights and economic data needed to quantify the projected demand for the resource will be compiled. PHASE III: PRELIMINARY PLAN FORMULATION The objective of this phase of the study is to make a pre- liminary identification and evaluation of alternative projects (COmbinations of facilities) and their operations to develop the unused portions of the watershed yield and select a candidate project or projects for investigation at reconnaissance level of planning. Present and projected water uses will be analyzed in order to formulate future water use scenarios. These analyses will be used to generate the water use priorities and economic factors necessary as input into the MODSIM model. A calibrated "without project" data base will be developed for use in the model to simulate present water resource conditions in the basin. The present "without project" conditions will be used in estimating economic output of alternative projects. Preliminary studies will be carried out to simulate the hydrologic conditions of the basin. Interactive data management packages will be used to generate flow data and flood hydrographs at facility sites as required. I-3
