dc.description.abstractThe Turlock Irrigation District (TID), California's first irrigation district, was established in 1887. In 1997, the TID began to investigate what improvements could be made to its water measurement facilities, some of which dated to the early part of the 20th century. The plan that was developed consisted of the installation of telemetry to existing concrete weirs, construction of new long-throated flumes, and installation of solid-state devices to replace existing systems. The data collected in the field is transmitted via a spread-spectrum radio to the District's operation center where it is loaded into the Irrigation SCADA system. Office staff can access the data and use it to monitor and analyze the operation of the irrigation system. The experience gained in data monitoring and collection will be used as the foundation for further improvements in operation of the TID canal system.
