Club 20 stated NISP is a project that “appropriately proposes to develop water supply solutions from within the basin of demand.”
It’s been a wet spring. Much of that water could have been conserved for later use if additional storage were available.
If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers does not approve a permit to construct NISP, an additional 100 square miles could dry up.
The participants from the Northern Integrated Supply Project recently updated the project’s cost estimate.
The year 2009 stands as an outstanding example of why additional storage of Colorado’s most precious natural resource makes sense.
