The Sevier River Water Users Association (SRWUA) in Central Utah are pioneers in the use of the Real-Time Web. For the past 10 years SRWUA has been delivering real-time water flow data to the public via the website www.SevierRiver.org.

More that 100 remote, solar-powered, stations record water flow and capacity data from canals, rivers and reservoirs. This data is collected and disseminated by the the MetriDyne tool, created by Moki Systems.

A schematic view of a portion of the system is useful as an overview for operations:

A tabular view of the same data:

Drilling down on an individual station shows a time series graph with options for tabular display or data export:

I have been asked to announce that we have recently gone live with manticitycreek.org, a website for the Manti Irrigation and Reservoir Company of Manti, Utah to monitor real-time data from local canals, ponds and rivers.

There are a number of different data products for viewing the data, including charts and graphs and tabular reports. It is even available by phone thanks to cloudvox’s IVR technology. The site has been built with Radiant which makes it easy for us to embed jQuery-powered data products from our data collection and management tool, which is a Ruby on Rails application. We have also integrated external resources such as SNOTEL graphs from the Western Regional Climate Center to make it easy to analyze long term precipitation trends.
