Middle Rio Grande Depletion Study Project

Historical Land & Water Use Data Analysis

Project Purpose

4/23/2008OSE/ISC MRG Depletion Study Project

2

To develop an integrated application that will compile digital historical land and water use statistics for a selected area.

To develop analytical tools to calculate consumptive water use totals, validate water right claims, and verify water use compliance.

Although initially focused on the Middle Rio Grande (MRG), the applications will be designed to extend to other water basins in support of the Agency’s primary operational strategy, i.e. Active Water Resource Management.

Project Background

This project is one component of a larger project that was approved by the Interstate Stream Commission (ISC) to: Ensure compliance with Rio Grande

Compact;

Evaluate water consumption and use;

Automate the water right application evaluation process.

The application part of the project will use the developed data to automate the process of evaluating land/water use and water right applications.
