! !! "#$%&!'())!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?=!@#-2$!A,2! Irrigated agriculture is the largest user of water in Colorado representing 80 percent of all surface and groundwater use, 220 a rate that is consistent with other regions nationally. 221 Within the South Platte River Basin there are two main sources of water for irrigation and domestic water use in Boulder County: streams and storage reservoirs. The various streams in the South Platte River Basin include Boulder and South Boulder Creeks, and the Left Hand and St. Vrain Creeks. The storage reservoirs include Highland Reservoir No 2, Foothills Reservoir, Base Line Lake, Marshall Lake, and Left Hand Valley Reservoir. Figure 12 shows the main river basins in Colorado and their main tributaries. The Colorado Big Thompson Transmountain Diversion Project provides additional water to the Front Range from the Western Rockies, to help ensure a supply of late-season irrigation water during most years. 222 !

Irrigated Land In 1968 about 68,000 acres in the Boulder Area were irrigated. 224 As of the 2007 Department of Agriculture Census, 33,871 acres, roughly 25 percent, of the agricultural land in Boulder County were irrigated. While the amount of irrigated land has decreased since 1968, there has been a seven percent increase since 2002. 225 As shown in Figure 13, the majority of irrigated land is in the eastern part of the County, although a few areas of meadowland are irrigated in the foothills and mountains. 226 !
