<br />The CWCB is in the process of extending the modeling data sets from 1975 - 1991 to
<br />1909 - 1996, This will provide a longer period ofrecord, which will help in the analysis
<br />of water use impacts, General project tasks that were completed included converting to a
<br />PC environment from a UNIX work station and updating the internet access data,
<br />
<br />CROSS is in its fourth and final development year which will focus on a daily river
<br />administration too\. The project has been funded for 4 years and will be finished in 1999,
<br />
<br />N, Study Schedule:
<br />
<br />The project started in 1993 and it is anticipated that the completion date will be sometime
<br />in 1999, The project for Phase 3b is approximately 1 months behind schedule due to
<br />changes in personnel and additional tasks, but should be completed by the end of January,
<br />1999,
<br />
<br />v, Relationship to RIPRAP:
<br />
<br />This project will assess the legal and physical availability of water and compact
<br />considerations for the Yampa River above and below the Little Snake River (1,A,3,b, and
<br />I,D.3,b,), Little Snake River (LC,3,b,), White River (1,B,2,), Colorado River (mainstem),
<br />(all tasks entitled "Assess Legal & Physical Availability of Water in Items LA 1 for the
<br />Colorado River), Gunnison River (1,B,2,), Dolores River and the San Juan River,
<br />
<br />VI, Accomplishments ofFY 98 Tasks and Deliverables:
<br />
<br />For FY 98, the CROSS Project River Basin Models will be completed by January 1999,
<br />The database to run these models is online and has been fuUy populated with data ranging
<br />from structures diversion, climate data to water rights infonnation and spatial data, This
<br />can be viewed on the internet at crdss,state,co,us.
<br />
<br />I The list for task numbers regarding assessing the legal and physical availabiliiy of wat.er on the Colorado mainstem are
<br />as follows:
<br />1.A.2,a,(2)
<br />I.A.2,b,(2)
<br />I.A,2,c,(1)(a)ii)
<br />1.A.2,c,(I)(b)ii)
<br />I,A,2,c.(2)(b)
<br />I.A,2,c,(3)(b)
<br />l.A,2,c,(4)(b)
