identifies the role of the IBCC Committee as:

positive environment for a statewide perspective, and develop a vision
for statewide water negotiations;

2. Serve as a forum for discussing and addressing the socio - economic,
recreation and environmental impacts of water development and
management, as well as potential impacts on the ability of the state to
use its entitlements and meet its Interstate Compact requirements.

3. Assist in finding resources to enable Roundtables to develop basin -
wide visions;

4. Encourage development of a common technical platform u pon which
negotiations can be based;

5. Guide the process of negotiating interbasin compacts and other
agreements by providing a framework that creates incentives for
successful deliberations, agreements, and their implementation; and

6. Perform all other role s and functions of the IBCC identified in
legislation.
