Initially driven by the unique requirement to verify water savings achieved by a water conservation program, the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) implemented a data warehouse with attendant quality-control and reporting applications as a SCADA data repository. Over the past 10 years, IID's Water Information System (WIS) has gained recognition for the benefits it now provides to ordinary operations, including reduced staff time, reduced reporting costs, improved data accuracy and overall improved water management. IID's SCADA system now includes 250 remote sites that feed data into the WIS. This paper briefly describes the IID WIS and the primary functions it currently supports pertaining to water conservation administration, support of daily operations, strategic analysis and data reporting. The quality control procedures for data management are presented, along with recently implemented improvements. Performance of quality-control algorithms is also discussed.born digitalCD-ROMsproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
