Water Project Construction Program Project Data <br /> <br /> <br />Applicant: <br />Division of Water Resources and Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> <br />Project Name: Satellite - linked Monitoring Project Type: DWR Stream Gaging <br />System and Flood Hardening Program <br /> <br />County: Statewide Drainage Basin: Water Source: N/A <br />Statewide Drainage Basins <br /> <br />Total Study Cost: $ 35 0 ,000 Funding Sources: CWCB <br /> <br />CWCB Investment: Interest Rate: N/A Term: N/A <br />$ 35 0 ,000 <br /> <br /> <br />Th is project entails the continued, long - term operational viability of the State Satellite Linked <br />Monitoring System, which is administered by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) . It also <br />involves the continued implementation of the joint DWR/CWCB Flood Hardening Program. <br />Th e Satellite - linked monitoring syste m, which is comprised of over 45 0 satellite - gaging stations, <br />requires continued renovation and flood hardening of existing gages, replacement of outdated <br />data collection platforms and upgrades to transmission components. In addition, many existing <br />gaging stations need to be modified to provide critical stream flow data for flood warning and <br />low flow monitoring. Changes in <br />technology, which will ultimately <br />increase reliability and real time data <br />transmission rates will require the <br />DWR to continue to upgr ade the system <br />in the future. The costs associated with <br />the continued refurbishment and <br />operational viability of the system is <br />approximately $ 30 0 ,000 per year. The <br />associated flood hardening cost are <br />$50,000 per year. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Crystal River DWR/CWCB Satell ite Gage <br />
