1 <br /> Water Project Construction Program—Project Data <br /> Applicant: Division of Water Resources and Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> • Project Name: Satellite-linked Monitoring Project Type: DWR Stream Gaging <br /> System and Flood Hardening Program <br /> County: Statewide Drainage Basin: Water Source: N/A <br /> Statewide Drainage Basins <br /> Total Study Cost: $350,000 Funding Sources: CWCB <br /> CWCB Investment: Interest Rate: N/A Term: N/A <br /> $350,000 <br /> This 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 /> M g Y � Y � ) <br /> involves the continued implementation of the joint DWR/CWCB Flood Hardening Program. <br /> The Satellite-linked monitoring system, which is comprised of over 450 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 requires continued renovation and flood hardening of existing gages, replacement of outdated 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 upgrade the system <br /> in the future. The costs associated with <br /> the continued refurbishment and <br /> operational viability of the system is <br /> approximately $300,000 per year. The <br /> associated flood hardening cost are <br /> $50,000 per year. <br /> Crystal River DWR/CWCB Satellite Gage <br /> Ilk <br />
