06:12 PM -- Overview of the Second Draft of the Colorado Water Plan
James Eklund, Director, Colorado Water Conservation Board, presented the second draft of the Colorado Water Plan. He suggested that a state water plan is necessary to prepare for dry years, such as those currently impacting California. He then identified changes to the Colorado Water Plan between the December and July drafts, including the expansion of the critical action plan in Chapter 10 (Attachment A), inclusion of elements from basin implementation plans, addition of a stretch goal for municipal water conservation and efficiency, identification of nontraditional funding sources, promotion of additional opportunities for outreach and education, and other changes.
