53. 19 Apr 2021 Conversation with Paul Monroe, General Manager at CICWCD, before a presentation he gave to the community leaders: Immediately after the CICWCD Meeting at The Heritage Center, Roice captured the following image during a zoom presentation on Raindance Village to Stephen Lisonbee:

Note Iron County is squarely in the 0.8-to-0.89 fractional loss of percipitation to evapotranspiration. The letters on Safe Yield, which have never been answered by the CICWCD, the State Engineer who mandated the Water Management Plan for the Cedar Valley Drainage Basin, nor the USGS who modeled inflow into the Cedar Valley Drainage Basin, shows 451,034 acre-feet per year of rainfall in the Cedar Valley Drainage Basin, which means:

MODELS MATTER, ESPECIALLY WHEN USED FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES!
