Nearly 60 monitoring stations record water level and quality parameters at reservoirs, canals, pipelines, and springs in Emery County, Utah. The purpose of the project is to document the quantity and quality of water as it moves through the county. Data is collected automatically via RF telemetry. The system is also used for irrigation scheduling and flood control. Gates can be opened and closed via RF telemetry according to irrigation needs, or as water levels reach preset values, the dataloggers will perform corresponding control operations.
