Hydrology and the Real-Time Web

August 18th, 2010 By: bret

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:
Flows of Rivers and Canals

 

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:
