5. Conclusions
The current draft 2016 Washoe County Consensus Forecast projects a 2036 population of 548,159;
The 2011 RWMP includes an estimate of potentially available, sustainable water resources of approximately 183,250 acre feet per year;
The water demand estimate to serve a population of 548,159 is approximately 116,000 acre feet per year; and,
The estimated population that can be supported by the identified sustainable water resources set forth in the RWMP is significantly in excess of the projected 2036 population.
