The Bureau of Reclamation's Provo Area Office is a leader in the development of computerized canal and reservoir monitoring and control technology. Real-time automation equipment and technology is revolutionizing the management
of water projects. Water managers throughout Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Colorado, and New Mexico, where automation systems are now in operation, have increased their capability to closely monitor and better control canal and reservoir
flows from locations far from the actual canal facilities. This automation technology provides water managers:
- Instant control over canal flows
- Accurate timing of water deliveries and reduction in waste
- Low capital investment for components
- Operation by solar-power
- Easy installation and maintenance
- An expandable, user-friendly system
