<br />acceptance test was successfully run on August 8, 1985. The system was <br />formally dedicated on October 4, 1985. At that time, the Authority turned the <br />system over to the State of Colorado under the jurisdiction of the Office of <br />the State Engineer. <br /> <br />The Colorado sate 11 ite-l inked water resources monitoring system recei ved <br />national merit awards in 1985 and 1986. The National Society of Professional <br />Engineers selected the system as one of ten outstanding national engineering <br />achievements for 1985. The Council of State Governments selected the system <br />as one of eight of the top innovative programs instituted by state government <br />in the nation for 1986. Colorado remains the only state in the nation to <br />operate a statewide monitoring system of this type. Colorado remains in the <br />forefront in ut il i zat i on of th i s technology with other western states in the <br />planning process to install and operate similar systems. These states include <br />Utah, Texas, California, Idaho, Washington, Arizona, and New Mexico. <br /> <br />The interest in real-time data collection for monitoring water resources <br />and other natural resources data is growing at an incredible rate due to the <br />need for such data and the cost effectiveness. Various federal agencies, <br />water conservancy districts, municipalities, and private entities now operate <br />over 150 satellite-linked data collection stations in Colorado in addition to <br />the state operated network. <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
