<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The cooperation that has been extended to the Office of the State Engi- <br />neer by these entities is invaluable and demonstrates the interest by the <br />water user community in the satellite monitoring system. <br /> <br />Various entities involved with water resources management and development <br />within the state of Colorado have installed and are operating hydrological <br />real-time data collection hardware in Colorado utilizing the GOES satellite as <br />a communications link. As this is a federal satellite. all resource data <br />transmitted through the satellite data collection system are in the public <br />domain. The State Engineer's Office can schedule its Direct Readout Ground <br />Station to receive and process these raw transmissions. As of July 1, 1986, <br />there were 101 such stations being monitored. The State Engineer's Office is <br />cooperating with these entities in planning network expansion to maximize <br />utility of real-time data collection without redundancy. A list of these <br />stations is included in Table 1. <br /> <br />Twenty-three satellite-linked monitoring stations operated by the state <br />of Colorado are done so on a seasonal basis only. These stations are <br />primarily gages at transmountain diversions and irrigation diversions where <br />actual diversions are not made during the winter months, and at high elevation <br />sites where ice-effects negate a valid record. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />:. <br /> <br />. <br />! <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-23- <br /> <br />. <br />
