When I'm not at one of the Dams or in my Shop - I can be found out in the field
anywhere the Bureau of Reclamation has Electronic Equipment to support. The
majority of the remote sites that I visit are Gauging Sites on the River or hilltop
Comm sites. What is 'high tech' here? Modern gauging sites contain computer based
data collection systems, electronic sensors, communication equipment and solar power
systems. The gauges may look low tech - but they're not.
Data collected from these remote sites is broadcast to hilltop commumications
sites using UHF Data Radios. Information can be collected 'on demand' and sent
to Hoover Dam where the data is used to manage water resources.
