<br />" It (s therefore only reasonable to conclude that the population projections
<br />
<br />used in the Bureau of Reclamation study are conservative anq that the population
<br />
<br />of the area may very well exceed the 2035 million by the year 2000 if efforts to
<br />
<br />control growth in the area do not meet with the success as envisioned by Denver
<br />
<br />Regiona I Council of Governments 0 . o.
<br />
<br />"Historically, per capita consumption has been increasing steadily, pri-
<br />
<br />marily as a result of the constantly rising standard of living.
<br />
<br />However I in
<br />
<br />recent years [. 0 oj this increase .has not been as dramatic 0
<br />
<br />Past projections
<br />
<br />by Denver have used an increase of one gallon per capita per day per year,
<br />
<br />but in the past two years, the Denver area has adopted a reduced projection
<br />
<br />growth of 0.5 gcd per year. . "
<br />
<br />"The addition of the treated water, raw water and system loss require-
<br />
<br />ments for a system developed the overall projected needs of the raw water
<br />
<br />supply...
<br />
<br />"Using the thumbnail approach that the average family (4.0 people per
<br />
<br />family) in the Denver SMSA uses approximately l. 0 acre foot of water per
<br />
<br />year; it can be projected from the range of population forecasts for the
<br />
<br />year 2000 from 2,350,000 to 3,398,685 people that a raw water supply
<br />
<br />serve the Denver SMSA by the year 2000.
<br />
<br />Again the Bureau of
<br />
<br />
<br />of from 588,000 to 850,000 acre feet of water will be required to
<br />
<br />Reclamation has adopted a low population forecast and therefore, a
<br />
<br />low end projection for required raw water supply.. 0 .
