  4. Basin Overview

  5. Approach

  6. Goal Themes • Balance All Needs and Reduce Conflict • Maintain Agricultural Water Needs • Meet Municipal and Industrial Water Needs • Meet Recreational Water Needs • Meet Environmental Water Needs • Preserve Water Quality • Comply with CO River Compact & Manage Risk

  7. Measureable Outcomes

  8. Constraints and Opportunities

  9. Identified Projects and Processes

  10. Identified Projects and Processes • Water sources • Hydropower on existing canals • Geothermal use • Habitat restoration • In Stream Flow proposals • Education • Recreational Education and/or Access • Storage • Ag Diversions and Fish Passage • Efficiencies for delivery systems

  11. Strategies: Funding • Great potential to leverage WSRA funds with other sources (NRCS, SWCD, private) • “Bundling” projects • Recommendations: • WSRA funds should not be use it or lose it • Dedicated funding sources • grass buy back • agricultural efficiencies • local water quality monitoring efforts • recreational/ environmental data needs

  12. Strategies: Education and Partnerships • Education and outreach for water conservation and reuse, agricultural water sharing, recreational uses, water quality and watershed health • Continue collaboration around multi-purpose projects • Coordinate with Tribal partners to support implementation of the Tribal Settlement

  13. Strategies: Address Data Needs • Evaluate Environmental and Recreational gaps • Initiate collaborative effort to develop innovative tools to address gaps • Needs of non-public water supply systems • Industrial water use and need • Correct and Update SWSI 2010 attribute map

  14. Meeting our Goals

  15. Long Hollow Reservoir Construction (La Plata River) Recreational In-Channel Diversion Construction (Animas River)
