S, Geological <br />Survey (USGS) began a cooperative effort to update existing USGS stream gaging stations throughout the <br />State, In many cases, the USGS had gages and cooperators for operation and maintenance, but the gages <br />were outdated and/or incapable of transmitting real time data via satellite, We were interested in upgrading <br />these stations to make data more readily available for DSS modeling, flood waming and analysis, and <br />instream flow monitoring, This cooperative effort would also make data more readily available to the <br />Division of Water Resources and other water users, Funding for upgrades was obtained from the Severance <br />Tax Operational Account and more recently from the Construction Fund, An MOU between the CWCB and <br />USGS was signed and equipment has been purchased for this effort since 1999, <br /> <br />This year, the CWCB has purchased approximately $40,000 of additional gaging equipment. Pressure <br />transducers and Accubar Bubble Gauges have also been added to increase the reliance and accuracy of data <br />during early spring, late fall, and winter conditions, The selection of gages to be updated is based on input <br />from each of the CWCB sections, The USGS also identifies specific gages that need to be updated, Input is <br />also obtained from the Division Engineer's offices, Once the gages are evaluated, they are prioritized and an <br />equipment selection process takes place, CWCB staff then orders the equipment in early March and delivers <br />the equipment to the USGS for summer installation, <br /> <br /> <br />8210 Data Collection Platform <br /> <br /> <br />Submersible Pressure Transducer <br /> <br />Fiscal Year 2001 / 2002 Equipment Upgrades <br /> <br />Arikaree River (new Installation) <br /> <br /> <br />Accubar Bubble Gauge <br /> <br />n/a <br /> <br />Sutron 8210 High Data Rate Satellite Collection <br />Platform, Sutron water level measuring device <br /> <br />East River at Almont <br /> <br />09112500 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Sutron 8210 High Data Rate Satellite Collection <br />Platform, <br /> <br />.....~.. <br /> <br />Sutron 8210 High Data Rate Satellite Collection <br />Platform, Sutron Accubar Bubble Gauge water level <br />measuring device <br />:1Q:A:~~~~:f:ii~:m,~:~~W)&;{i~~@::::::::;:::;:::::g:::::::::n::::::non:QJ:~ftf{?::::::;::::~~:;:::~:::~~mhi~:::::K;;:_&#i;;~~:i:~~~~~1J::t8.$~:~:~~lr~~:;:M1Wt~~;~~fili~&.rn);;:::::::::::::::: <br /> <br />Cimarron River Near Cimarron <br /> <br />09126000 <br /> <br />4 <br />
