DISCLAIMER: The Colorado Water Plan (Water Plan) provides technical data and information regarding Colorado’s water resources. The technical data and information generated are intended to help inform decision making and planning regarding water resources at a statewide or basinwide planning level. The information made available is not intended to replace projections or analyses prepared by local entities for specific project or planning purposes. The Colorado Water Conservation Board intends for the Water Plan to help promote and facilitate a better understanding of water supply and demand considerations within the State; however, the datasets provided are from a snapshot in time and cannot reflect actual or exact conditions in any given basin or the State at any given time. While this Water Plan strives to reflect the Colorado Water Conservation Board’s best estimates of future water supply and demands under various scenarios, the reliability of these estimates is affected by the availability and reliability of data and the current capabilities of data evaluation. Moreover, the Water Plan cannot incorporate the varied and complex legal and policy considerations that may be relevant and applicable to any particular basin or project; therefore, nothing in the Water Plan, Technical Update or the associated Flow Tool or Costing Tool is intended for use in any administrative, judicial or other proceeding to evince or otherwise reflect the State of Colorado’s or the CWCB’s legal interpretations of state or federal law. Furthermore, nothing in the Water Plan or any subsequent reports generated from these datasets is intended to, nor should be construed so as to, interpret, diminish, or modify the rights, authorities, or obligations of the State of Colorado or the CWCB under state law, federal law, administrative rule, regulation, guideline or other administrative provision. Prior to the 2015 Colorado Water Plan, past statewide water supply analyses included data analysis, project information and policy components. After the release of the Water Plan, these elements were split between the Water Plan (policy), Basin Implementation Plans (local projects) and statewide water supply initiatives (technical data analysis). To better recognize these delineations and make the connection to the Water Plan clear, the statewide water supply initiative (often referenced as SWSI) is now being referred to as the Analysis and Technical Update to the Water Plan (or Technical Update).
