<br />neM25 <br /> <br />July 6, 1993 <br /> <br />Gunnison Planning Model - Info Theme No.8 <br /> <br />Information Related to "Project 7" <br /> <br />"Project 7" refers to a regional water treatment facility which supplies a number <br />of separate municipalities. This is a non-standard demand in several respects.' Project <br />7 obtains water from two canals, the Cimarron Canal and the UVP's South Canal, both <br />of which may carry direct-flow diversions, project water and augmentation water. <br /> <br />The availability and the manner in which potential supplies from these two <br />physical sources are combined to meet Project 7's demand will depend, in part, upon <br />the operations of other components of the mode!. These include the UVP "protocol," <br />discussed in Info Theme No.7, and the limitations upon the Ridgway Exchange, <br />discussed below. In general, a user may set eligibility and volumetric limits upon each <br />type of water which Project 7 may receive from either physical source. <br /> <br />1. Demand Amounts and Consumptive Use. The combined <br />demand of the municipalities served by Project 7 will be <br />represented by a single, user-specifiable 12 X 40 table of values <br />in AF. The consumptive use will be specified by a 12 X 1 table <br />of percents, like any non-agricultural demand. <br /> <br />2. Return Flows. Since Project 7 does not imply combined <br />wastewater treatment by the municipal entities, it is likely that all <br />three of the available return-flow locations will be used in the <br />Baseline Scenario. User-specification of the locations and <br />distribution of return flows will be an important modeling <br />capability. <br /> <br />3. Water Supply From Cimarron Canal. The Cimarron Canal is <br />a non-standard construct within the mode!. It conveys water to <br />two agricultural demands, in addition to Project 7. (See Info <br />Theme No.3 for a discussion of the internal operations of the <br />Cimarron Cana!.) <br /> <br />4. Water Supply From Gunnison Tunnel/South Canal. The <br />Gunnison Tunnel and South Canal are parts of the physical <br />diversion and distribution system of the Uncompahgre Valley <br />Project, which imports water from the Gunnison River into the <br />Uncompahgre Valley. Such water may be used by Project 7 <br />under an exchange agreement referred to as the Ridgway <br />Exchange. (See Info Theme No.7 for a discussion of the UVP. <br />See paragraph 11, below, for a discussion of the Ridgway <br />Exchange.) <br /> <br />,'. <br /> <br />-.-do, <br /> <br />~,",J.i",;, ... <br /> <br />
