<br />Ou2463 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MONTH'" Y REPORT <br />TO THE <br />COLORADO RIVER BOARD OF CALIFORNIA <br /> <br />AUl!ust 13. 2002 <br /> <br />ADMINISTRA nON <br /> <br />Colorado River Water SUDDlv WorkshoD <br /> <br />On July 24, 2002, a workshop was held by the Colorado River Board on the "Colorado Riyer Water <br />Supply Situation." This workshop was well attended and the presentations were informative. Through <br />this effort, I believe that a larger audience was reached and became more knowledgeable on the severity <br />of the drought in the Colorado River Basin and how it is impacting California and others; the cooperativc <br />efforts that the Colorado River Basin states have entered into; the importance of executing the <br />Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA) by the December 31" deadline and in implementing <br />California's Colorado River Water Use Plan as scheduled; and the consequences on California and others <br />in the Basin if the QSA is not executed by the December 31" deadline. <br /> <br />AGENCY MANAGERS MEETING <br /> <br />The Agency Managers have not met since the July Board meeting. <br /> <br />CONSENT ITEMS <br /> <br />Lower Colorado Water SUDDlv Proiect <br /> <br />Work is continuing on the Lower Colorado Water Supply Project (Project).
