dc.descriptionPresented during the USCID water management conference held on October 13-16, 2004 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The theme of the conference was "Water rights and related water supply issues."
dc.description.abstractThe Sevier River Basin in central Utah is one of the state's most critically water-short areas. The Bureau of Reclamation and Utah State University have had a long-term partnership with the Sevier River Water Users Association to automate the river and implement real-time water right allocations. The Bureau has now automated nearly all of the key canal, reservoir, and stream gauging stations along the main stem of the river. Utah State University has implemented the water rights allocation procedures. Both efforts have substantially assisted the River Commissioners in the day to day regulation of the river. For the users, this system has reduce the information time lag from about 45 days to a single day, thereby allowing them a substantially greater water management capability.
