Agenda Item 22, July 20-21, 2004 Board Meeting,
Statewide Water Supply Initiative (SWSI) Implementation Update

Over the last two months, the Statewide Water Supply Initiative (SWSI) team completed our third
set of Basin Roundtable Technical meetings. We are in the process of finalizing municipal,
industrial and agricultural demands, and environmental and recreational needs. This information
will be used to complete a revised demand/gap analysis. In addition, we are finalizing "identified
projects and processes" (formerly termed "Tier I") and options for alternatives development
(formerly termed "Tier 2 and 3"). The SWSI team has also begun developing basin specific
alternatives to address demands not met by "identified projects and processes."

At the July meeting, the SWSI team will present a summary of the scoring of water supply options
by basin and the alternatives approach by basin, as outlined in Attachment 1. We will also present
our approach to supply availability, and the draft final demand/gap analysis.

No formal action is requested of the Board at this time.
