Water resources accounting programs utilizing the system have been <br />set up for the Dolores Project, the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, <br />and the Fryingpan-Arkansas River Project. Savings are estimated to <br />be 40 hours per month ~ $12 per hour or $5,760 per year. <br /> <br />5. The benefits attributed to the system from flood warning are calcu- <br />lated to be $175,000 per year. If a real-time flood monitoring <br />network of 50 stations is considered essential, and the operating <br />cost for each station is $3,500 per year, this amounts to $175,000 <br />per year. <br /> <br />6.
