What and who is the Duchesne\/Strawberry River Water Users Association?<\/h3>\n

\n The Duchesne\/Strawberry River Water Users Association consists of river commissioner(s) (state employees under the Utah Division of Water Rights), \n along with canal companies operated out of the homes of their managers, and seasonal employees such as ditch riders and water masters. \n The association regulates the water use and water rights for the Duchesne area, and is one of seven agencies that manage water resources in the region.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

What water resources does the D\/SRWUA manage?<\/h3>\n

\n The D\/SRWUA manages several rivers, canals, and reservoirs in Duchesne County, in collaboration with other water agencies. \n Towns serviced include Duchesne, Fruitland, Myton, Roosevelt, Tabiona, and Upalco.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

Where does all of this real-time data come from?<\/h3>\n

\n Data is collected from stations equipped with sensors that measure voltage, river flow, temperature, and more. \n These are recorded by CR-10 dataloggers from Campbell Scientific. Additional data comes from USGS-operated stations and NRCS-operated snowpack (SNOTEL) stations.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

How often is the data gathered?<\/h3>\n

\n Most data is gathered hourly. Some data, like images from cameras, are updated as frequently as every 10 minutes.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

How does the data get from the water sources to my computer?<\/h3>\n

\n Each station records data using CR-10 dataloggers. Once an hour, data is transmitted to a central server via VHF radio, \n 900 MHz spread spectrum, the Internet, land-line, or cell phone. The web server retrieves the most recent data when a page is loaded.\n USGS data uses satellite links; NRCS SNOTEL uses “meteorburst” radio transmission.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

Please explain the remotely controlled canal gates.<\/h3>\n

\n These gates can be programmed to maintain specific flow rates. The stations include VHF radios and telephone equipment for two-way communication. \n Authorized users can remotely adjust gate parameters. Sensors confirm when the desired settings are met.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

What operating systems and programs does your webserver use?<\/h3>\n

\n The site runs on an Apache web server using Red Hat Linux. It stores data in a MySQL database and is primarily coded in PHP and HTML, \n with some Perl scripts for additional functionality.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

I can’t find the page I’m looking for but it was there yesterday.<\/h3>\n

\n The site is regularly updated and reorganized. Pages may be renamed or moved. If you’re having trouble finding a page, \n email the webmaster at support@aquatraq.com<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

Where can I go for more information?<\/h3>\n

\n The system description provides a detailed overview of the county\u2019s water system and its future goals. \n It can be accessed from the \u201cAbout\u201d link on the site\u2019s menu.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

I found an error – Who do I report it to?<\/h3>\n

\n Please report any site errors or non-working pages to support@aquatraq.com<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
