The Board is charged with the responsibility of fostering wise and economic use of the state's water resources. The Board takes into consideration economic and relevant assumptions and projections made by other planning agencies in its planning to formulate the best economic use for a subject area or locality. A complete record of engineering and economic feasibility reports of any proposed water construction or flood control project within the state is on file in the Board's library for public use. As state coordinator of water and related land resources planning, the Board initiates water related planning studies for economic depressed areas when the need arises for the augmentation of water supplies to foster economic growth. It is expected that through formal planning studies that may be supplemented with special research of other s~ate agencies, universities, etc., sound water and related land resources develop- ment will continue within the state of Colorado. 9
