  1. Gunnison Basin Implementation Plan Presentation to the Colorado Water Conservation Board July 16, 2014

  2. The GBIP in a Nutshell: Approach • Solid guidance from GBIP subcommittee • Minor restructuring to address local issues and flow • Targeted technical outreach • GBRT assistance with public outreach • Avoid duplication of previous efforts

  3. The GBIP in a Nutshell: Content • Primary Goal: Protect Existing Uses • Focus on Agricultural Shortages • Agricultural Shortages = Agricultural Gap • Focus on Modeling • Tiered & Combined Project List

  4. Draft Plan Overview

  5. Comparison to CWCB Guidance

  6. Introduction • Overview of the Gunnison Basin • Layout and Land Ownership • Hydrology and Water Management • Water Rights Administration • Environmental Flow Management • Water Quality and Watershed Management • Water Related Recreation • Economic Impacts of Water Use • Overview of the Gunnison Basin Implementation Plan • Purpose • Outreach Process • Report Structure • Overview of Available Basin Information • Modeling Tools • Basin Studies

  7. Section 1: Basin Goals • Introduction • Basin Goals • Statewide Principles

  8. Basin Goals

  9. Statewide Principles

  10. Section 2: Basin Needs • Introduction • Agricultural Needs • Summary of Process • Recent Updates (Including Drought Study Impacts) • Summary of Needs • Municipal and Industrial Needs • Summary of Process • Recent Updates (Including Drought Study Impacts) • Summary of Needs • Environmental and Recreational Needs • Summary of Process • Recent Updates (Including Drought Study Impacts) • Summary of Needs

  11. Section 2: Basin Needs – Ag Shortages

  12. Section 3: Basin Evaluations • Introduction • Gunnison Basin Water Resources Allocation Model • Case Studies • Water Availability Analysis (Historical Hydrology) • Water Availability Analysis (CRWAS Projected Climate Hydrology) • Upper Basin Supplemental Irrigation Decrees • Multipurpose Win-Win Projects • Instream Flow Analysis • Mapping Overlays

  13. Case Study Example – Historical Hydrology

  14. Case Study Example – CRWAS Projected Climate Hydrology

  15. Case Study Example – Instream Flow Analysis

  16. Section 4: Basin Projects • Introduction • Project Lists • Planned Projects • Environmental Protections and Monitoring • Completed and Ongoing Projects • Project Summary Template • Project Summaries (Planned Projects)

  17. Section 4: Projects to Highlight • Tier 1: Implementation likely feasible by 2020; project does excellent job of meeting Basin Goals. • Tier 2: Implementation likely not feasible by 2020; project would excel at meeting Basin Goals. Project may also have important conditional water rights and/or completed planning efforts. • Tier 3: Implementation likely not feasible by 2020; project in preliminary stages of planning and/or may meet Basin Goals to lesser degree.

  18. Section 4 – Planned Project List • Started withmost recent SWSI list – new & refined • Projects assessed for: water availability, feasibility, and competition for same water • Modeling analysis as requested • Large variability in project data • Significant effort in data collection • Proposed inventory projects • Inventory, assessment, and prioritization • Address infrastructure needs

  19. Section 4 – Planned Project List

  20. Project Summary Sheets

  21. Example - Project Specific Analysis

  22. Section 5: Conclusions & Recommendations • Introduction • Conclusions • Basin Goals • Basin Needs • Basin Evaluations • Basin Projects • Project Effectiveness in Meeting Goals and Measurable Outcomes • Recommendations (Implementation Strategies) • Project Acceptance • Project Feasibility

  23. Project Effectiveness per Goals

  24. Recommendations: Strategies Tied to Constraints

  25. GBIP Status • On schedule and on budget • GBRT review of 2 full drafts (tracking changes) • Incorporating final comments • Final draft comment deadline this Friday (7/18/14) • GBIP Subcommittee Meeting: 7/29/14 • Submittal to CWCB: 7/31/14 • No current plans for further funding
