- CSU is looking to define a pareto-optimal front between vulnerability and cost due to impacts of tractable water management solutions – not scientific outputs that have no chance of getting implemented, which can only be accomplished through collaboration with stakeholders in the region, such as CWCB and CDWR
- There is interest in collaboration and coordination on CWCB’s and CDWR’s side: CSU will likely participate bi-weekly CDSS meetings as well as monthly South Platte Roundtable meetings.
- Understanding Doug’s role in the project as advisory to the modelers and researchers particularly when writing reports and articles and interacting with stakeholders
- Doug is a water policy guy
- Mentioned a water model WEAP connected to a power model REEDS done mainly by Dave Yates

- JISEA study came up with 3 scenarios for 2040, and considered diversity, retired and repowered plants, high wind, high conservation
- Oil & gas study was not included in JISEA’s study, but Laura Belanger would know more about that
- There is an NREL report coming out that looks at consumptive water use and life cycle water demands of energy generation
Andre Dozier is a Ph.D. student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering program at Colorado State University where he also received a B.Sc. (Hons.) degree and M.S. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a concentration in water resources planning and management. He worked as an Engineer in Training at Natural Resources Consulting Engineers, Inc. for three-and-a-half years during his undergraduate and graduate studies, and served either as a Graduate Research Assistant or a Research Fellow on a variety of projects related to water and power systems operations, water rights, irrigation design, artificial intelligence, and climate change funded by the Department of Energy, Hydro Research Foundation, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. His current research deals with citizen science approaches for water management, interdisciplinary model integration and synthesis, optimization, and decision support to investigate water management solutions under uncertainty in climate, population, land use, and energy preferences. He is or has been a member of ASCE, COSHA, IEEE, and iEMSs, and has received a number of awards and scholarships such as the NSF IGERT Fellowship, IEEE PES Student Paper Prize Award in Honor of T. Burke Hayes, Hydro Research Foundation Fellowship, Borland Advanced Graduate Student, and Colorado Distinguished Scholar Award.
