Water data technology has advanced substantially in recent decades. Water managers and water right regulators now track water use precisely. They have a range of tools – from human ditch, riders measuring physical diversions to digital technology of streamflow gauges, precision water meters, and moisture measuring gauges. The data may be transmitted to centralized data systems for remote reporting and analysis. Or water managers may draw on remote sensing technology from satellites and other tools to get real-time data on water use.
This webinar will draw on the expertise of a water data technology expert, Phil Blankenau (Idaho Department of Water Resources), and a water regulator who uses water data technology to enforce water rights, Erik Ekdahl (California State Water Resources Control Board). They will share their experience and how modern water data technology can assist courts in resolving water conflicts.
