Lamm <br />Governor <br />). Willidm McDondld <br />Director <br />David W. W,]lker <br />Depu[y Director <br /> <br />The following guidelines are offered to assist in the <br />preparation of planning reports for the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board (CWCB). The guidelines describe: (1) the <br />desired style of written presentation. (2) report organization <br />and (3) report specifications. <br /> <br />1. Style of Presentation <br /> <br />All planning reports are expected to be written in a clear. <br />concise style such that the report is comprehensible to the <br />knowledgable layman (i.e.. a person with some general knowledge <br />of water resource development in Colorado). The writer should <br />assume that the reader is not familiar with the project or the <br />study area and that the reader does not have an extensive <br />technical background. <br /> <br />The planning report should be an independent document (or <br />set of documents) which fully describe(s) the study process. <br />the analyses performed and the manner in which conclusions were <br />arrived at. Any information in the report which is not general <br />knowledge or which is not developed independently should be <br />referenced in a suitable manner. <br /> <br />The main report should provide a narrative presentation of <br />the entire study process. Major assumptions used in each step <br />of the study should be explicitly stated. Detailed technical <br />discussions should be included in appendices. All technical <br />terms used should be defined in a glossary. <br /> <br />Each chapter should begin with an introduction of the <br />subject to be discussed or the problem to be analyzed. The <br />discussion should proceed in a logical development leading to a <br />conclusion for analytical chapters (such as an analysis of <br />alternatives) or to full development of the subject (within <br />the scope of the study) for information chapters. <br /> <br />Each chapter in the body of the report should be able to <br />stand on its own with respect to the subject discussed in the <br />particular chapter.
