Water Conservation Measures and East Slope Water Sources Should <br /> <br />Meet Future Needs (Colorado Council of Trout Unlimited, Robert Weaver) <br /> <br />"Water conservation through both structural improvements in the water <br /> <br />system and management measures shouLd be a primary factor in Metropolitan <br /> <br />Water Planning, and need projections should be based on a reduced per <br /> <br />;gi,;;,;j~ <br /> <br />capita consumption rather than an ever increasing per capita consumption <br /> <br />to meet a seemingly unlimited demand. Water conservation measures would <br /> <br />be most useful as a first step in a system for stretching and augmenting <br /> <br />Denver's water supply in stages instead of going the all or nothing route <br /> <br />with Two Forks Dam or some equivalent storage facility. <br /> <br />[ SeveraL Steering Committee Members felt that the Bureau had] <br /> <br />"presented the problem of future Metropolitan water supply as a black and <br /> <br />white situation, either we build Two Forks or the equivalent to satisfy <br /> <br />future water needs, or do nothing and face major shortages. This type of <br /> <br />reasoning could only lead to one conclusion - Two Forks ... <br /> <br />[As indicated by recent sharp fluxuations in the Metro growth rate, <br /> <br /> <br />growth is and will be subject to a large number of variables and current <br /> <br />DRCOG projections mayor may not materialize.J <br /> <br />"Thus, for the intermediate planning period, it would seem reasonable <br /> <br />to give serious consideration to a mix of several alternatives to Two Forks <br /> <br />that could be implemented in stages as the needs materialized.
