Development and demonstration of pump station and surface diversion monitor systems for water and energy efficiency improvements. Research technical completion report, 14-08-0001-G141905 Item Info

Microprocessor based monitoring units for pump station and open channel diversions were developed and installed at eight locations in southern Idaho. Commercial electronic units and sensors were utilized to provide operator accessible data as well as storage of measured and calculated parameters. Pump station monitors measure and record input energy, lift and pumping pressures, discharge, and calculated system efficiency as well as cost per unit volume of water pumped. Open channel diversion monitors utilize float-operated variable potentiometers to record water stage as input to discharge rating curves stored in the processor. Some start-up and operational problems such as battery drain have been corrected and the units provide useful data both for operational evaluation as well as water rights administration.
