• W303228316 abstract "THE DECISIONMAKERS From wireless communication to the Internet, the information age with advanced digital electronics and sophisticated software offers a plethora of tools for water resources managers. Let us review “state of the art” technology now available, problems and priorities for equipment suppliers, and speculate where future developments may take us. My first experience with water resource decision makers came at an early age. When I was a teenager, water from a local canal was turned into a ditch by opening a headgate and then routed to irrigate my parents’ lawn and vegetable garden. My father assigned me the responsibility of weekly irrigation. I was to check with the water master to confirm a designated time. This routine was interrupted one summer by the city carrying out repairs on a sewer line in the area, and to be sure there would be no disruption of their work by inadvertent flooding, they put a padlock on the headgate at the canal. Dad was upset and saw no reason, with appropriate precaution, why the ditch near their construction site couldn’t be dammed off and irrigation resumed, but the Mayor didn’t agree. After a heated phone conversation including the threat of arrest if the padlock were removed, Dad loaded the cutting torch into the back of the pickup and headed for the canal. He later told me that he changed his mind before he got there because he thought his arrest would not be respectable for the family. I don’t suppose in the annals of history it would have been the first arrest over a water dispute. Who are the decision makers affecting our use of water? During this past winter and spring, the deficient snowpack in the Northwest generally, and in Northern Utah more locally, received plenty of attention in the news. The Utah State Department of Water Resources has responded with increased attention and support for policy changes in water districts and municipalities that encourage the conservation of water resources. A recent news broadcast reported that rates for water use in the Salt Lake area would be increasing substantially, that measures were being considered to charge a premium for excessive use, and that landscape ordinances should be reconsidered to encourage native vegetation. My mind caught hold of the thought of native landscaping. The kids are grown so my family doesn’t need as much lawn. If I planted sagebrush in the yard, I wouldn’t have to water it, I wouldn’t have to mow it, and I might even find that it is socially acceptable with the neighbors as a native landscape! Now I just have to convince my wife. They are the end users with a specific requirement. At the retail or residential level, they usually open a valve and expect water to be there. Often, we don’t think about using water directly when we start the dishwasher or clothes washer. The information required for these decision makers usually relates to a direct need at hand, and the availability of water is almost taken for granted, at least in much of the United States. A water-short year like the one we are having affects more than just how we water our lawns or the rates charged for water use. The snowpack is always watched by local farmers who use runoff for irrigation, and this year we are seeing dramatic affects on a tight energy market in the western United States with a reduction in available hydroelectric power. It is times like these when we should be asking, “Is the right information available in a timely manner to the decision makers?” That’s what all the investment in information technology is about. Other decision makers are those who are in the supply chain of daily water delivery. They regulate flows and pressures. They monitor water quality and make treatment decisions. They work to assure supply to their customers. The information required for these decision" @default.
