Abstract: Coloradoans recognize that our long term economic health hinges on the availability of adequate, clean, reliable water supplies. As future demands for municipal, recreational, agricultural, and industrial uses continue to increase throughout the state providing adequate water supplies will become more challenging. The water supply situation in northwest Douglas County serves as an example of the challenge of providing an adequate municipal water supply. Current and future residents are faced with a declining nonrenewable groundwater supply and limited options for renewable water supplies. The recommendations in this report provide an innovative approach toward balancing water supply and demand.
