Abstract
Water management can be a complicated effort, especially when there is a lack of supporting information for making a decision. Often information is sparse or located in multiple locations. This presentation will demonstrate an affordable web-based tool developed with Open Source software. The purpose of the tool is to bring information into a single user interface for supporting water management functions and decisions. This presentation will focus on a decision support application created for the Sun River watershed in west-central Montana. The application is not intended to compete with existing SCADA applications, but compliment them by integrating and using some of the SCADA system data.
