The Provo Area Office is working on a variety of automation projects, including applications from environmental monitoring (weather, streamflow, soil moisture, groundwater levels, reservoir elevation, water quality, etc.) and warning systems (flood alert, dam safety, contamination alert, etc.) to remote control and automation (reservoir release, selective canal automation, on-farm irrigation control, water quality adjustments, etc.). Current projects include:

  Sevier River Basin Monitoring and Control (Utah, USA): Intensive monitoring and control underway on all the major reservoirs and canals in the Sevier River Basin. All real-time information (including a live image of the Richfield diversion structure) is currently available at www.sevierriver.org.

  Emery County Water Measurement and Contro l (Utah, USA): Real-time monitoring and control on Emery Water Conservancy District watershed and service. All real-time information (including a live image of the horizon above Castle Dale) is currently available at www.ewcd.org.

  Twin Falls Selective Canal Automation Network (Idaho, USA): Upgrade and expansion on an existing real-time monitoring and control network on a large Idaho irrigation distribution system.

  Duchesne River Solar-Powered Automation Network (Utah, USA): A demonstration real-time monitoring and control network on the Duchesne River. This is joint project of Duchesne/Strawberry Water User Association, Uintah Indian Irrigation Project, Duchesne County Water Conservancy District, and Reclamation.

  Water District No. 65 Canal Automation (Idaho, USA): Real-time monitoring and control on the canals and reservoirs which make up the District. The latest addition to the real-time system on the Seven-Mile Slough is designed to improve the water quality in the Payette River.

  Jingtai Irrigation Scheme (Gansu Provence, China): Real-time monitoring and gate control on two demonstration sites in north central China (PRC). Provo Area Office staff assisted with design and installation.

  Kerian Irrigation Scheme (State of Perak, Malaysia): Real-time monitoring and control on an entire irrigation (paddy rice) system in northern peninsular Malaysia. Provo Area Office staff is assisting with design.
