Due to the inherent complexities of the Study and the many diverse interests and perspectives of the various stakeholders, interim reports and technical updates were published throughout the course of the Study to reflect continual technical developments and the ongoing input of stakeholders. The following final reports update previously published Study documents or reflect new technical reports and are organized into three major parts: an Executive Summary, a Study Report, and technical reports.

• Executive Summary:  Provides a summary of the Report.
  

• Study Report: Provides a summary of each of the Study’s seven technical reports as well as future considerations and potential next steps that could be conducted as follow-on activities to the Study.  
  
  
• Technical Report A – Scenario Development: Describes the scenario planning approach used to incorporate uncertainty in future water supply and demand.
  
  
• Technical Report B – Water Supply Assessment: Describes the water supply scenarios and presents the analysis and comparison of those scenarios.
  
  
• Technical Report C – Water Demand Assessment: Describes the water demand scenarios, presents the analysis and comparison of these scenarios, and presents historical consumptive use information.
  
  
• Technical Report D – System Reliability Metrics: Describes the metrics that have been identified for use in the assessment of reliability of the system to meet resource needs under future supply and demand scenarios.
  
  
• Technical Report E – Approach to Develop Options and Strategies: Provides the overall analytical approach used to analyze opportunities to resolve projected water supply and demand imbalances.
  
  
• Technical Report F – Development of Options and Strategies: Describes the ideas (options) submitted to the Study to help resolve water supply and demand imbalances and the development of portfolios from those options.
  
  
• Technical Report G – System Reliability Analysis and Evaluation of Options and Strategies: Presents the reliability of the system to meet resource needs under future water supply and demand scenarios and the effectiveness of options and strategies to improve that reliability.
