This workshop will review and analyze recent developments in integrated water resource management (IWRM) and tools. The speakers will be experts from the Bureau of Reclamation and specialists from other water resource management entities who will provide a comprehensive overview of IWRM theory and techniques with discussion on policies and practical management issues - - from river basin level to individual water resource projects. Discussion will focus on assessing and dealing with competing demands imposed on a limited water resource and, at the project level, means to better promote their efficient operation, maintenance, and management for multiple purposes including irrigated agriculture, flood control, hydropower, water supply and environmental purposes. Specific sessions in the Workshop will be devoted to a wide array of topics including IWRM theory, data collection, water quality, water conservation, drought management, adaptive management, decision support systems, and conflict management. The Workshop will officially conclude on Friday at 2:00 p.m., however, a three-day study tour (April 12, 13, and 14) may be added to the Workshop for an additional fee. The tour would consist of field visits to interesting water-related locations in Colorado.
