11:31 AM -- Update on the Colorado Water Plan
Dr. John Stulp, Special Policy Advisor to the Governor for Water and Chairman of the Interbasin Compact Committee, provided an update on the Colorado Water Plan (Attachment D) and discussed the Interbasin Compact Committee process established under House Bill 05-1177. He also discussed the role of public feedback in the development of the final draft of the plan and thanked the committee for its implementation of Senate Bill 15-115. He discussed the water supply gap and identified measurable objectives for meeting the gap. For example, the Colorado Water Plan sets a measurable objective of reducing the projected 2050 municipal and industrial gap from as much as 560,000 acre-feet to zero acre-feet by 2030. He also identified changes between the second draft of the Colorado Water Plan and the final draft. For example, the final draft will have few critical actions and focus more on high-impact actions that need to be taken immediately.
