Websites with accurate real-time representations of the Sevier, San Rafael, and Duchesne river basins are being developed. These river basin websites, coupled with low-cost automatic remote-control on all major structures, allow for nearly instantaneous decision-making. The ability to see what is happening throughout a river basin and to react promptly to changing hydrologic and weather conditions is dramatically improving the way rivers and irrigation canals are operated. Additionally, these websites are important elements in building trust and encouraging collaboration between the various stakeholders.born digitalproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
