Phase I will model existing demands. There will be an <br />Meeting 9/24/07 <br />opportunity to understand the modeling through Task 4 <br />(specifically see Task 4a .) . Interested roundtable members <br />and other water users can use the time during state <br />procurement to develop an understanding of the CDSS which <br />will form the basis of phase one of the study.
